Sardines Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sardines

   Clean and gut the fresh sardines. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Make the Marinade

   In a bowl, combine lemon juice, chopped parsley, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

3. 3

   Marinate the Sardines

   Place the cleaned sardines in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the sardines are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

   Serve

   Serve the marinated sardines raw as an appetizer or grilled as a main dish. Drizzle additional olive oil and garnish with lemon slices and parsley if desired.
