Ingredients
- 8 whole Fresh sardines
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Rinse the sardines under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Ensure they are cleaned and scaled if not done by the fishmonger.
Step 3
Place the sardines in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over the fish, making sure they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the sardines from the marinade and shake off excess. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Step 6
Place the sardines on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the skin is crispy and the flesh is cooked through, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.
Step 7
Transfer the grilled sardines to a serving platter and garnish with fresh lemon wedges.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious Paleo Grilled Sardines with Garlic Lemon Marinade.
