👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Rinse the sardines under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. You can leave them whole, head and gut in, or clean them if preferred.
2. Lightly brush the sardines with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Ensure they are evenly coated for best grilling.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the sardines directly on the grill grates.
4. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the skin is crispy and slightly charred, and the flesh is opaque and cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep them moist.
5. Carefully remove the grilled sardines from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately.
