Portuguese Grilled Sardines

Step 1

Lay the sardines in a tray on kitchen towel or a table cloth. You'll want to remove any excess moisture from the skin.

Step 2

Drizzle with olive oil and cover with coarse sea salt.

Step 3

Flip the sardines carefully and cover with sea salt again.

Step 4

Cook each side for around 3 minutes, or until the skin is crispy. Flip the sardines once only, as delicately as possible.

Step 5

Serve on a slice of fresh bread.
