Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh cuttlefish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Clean the fresh cuttlefish by removing the innards and beak. Rinse well under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, finely minced garlic cloves, and the juice of half a lemon. Whisk together until well-blended.
Step 3
Coat the cuttlefish with the garlic-lemon oil mixture, ensuring they are well-covered.
Step 4
Preheat a grill pan or barbecue over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 5
Place the cuttlefish on the grill, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are opaque and have nice grill marks.
Step 6
While grilling, finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the cuttlefish from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Step 8
Sprinkle the cooked cuttlefish with sea salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over them to finish.
Step 9
Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges if desired.
