Portuguese-Style Grilled Marinated Sardines Recipe
Portuguese-Style Grilled Marinated Sardines
Ingredients
- 1 pkg (800 g) frozen sardines, thawed
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) minced flat leaf parsley
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) black pepper
- Pinch cayenne pepper
Preparation
Under cold running water, scale sardines by running fingers up body from tail to head. With scissors, trim off top fin. Slit belly from tail to head; remove gills and innards. Slide finger down both sides of backbone, loosening it; pull backbone out.
With scissors, cut off tail and head; trim sides, removing any leftover bones. Lay pieces flat, skin side down, on plate; sprinkle with garlic, parsley, oil, lemon juice, salt, and black and cayenne peppers. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (or for up to 4 hours).
Broil, skin side down and 4 inches/10 cm from element, until flesh just flakes (do not overcook), 6 to 7 minutes. (Or grill, skin side down, over high heat until skin is browned on bottom and fish just flakes, 5 to 7 minutes.)
Makes 8 to 12 pieces.
