Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Sardines

Rinse the fresh sardines under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Make a small incision along the belly of each sardine to help them cook evenly.

2. Marinate the Sardines

In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the sardines, inside and out. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3. Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and evenly distributed.

4. Grill the Sardines

Place the sardines on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.

5. Serve

Remove the sardines from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
