Ingredients
Sardines
Olive oil
Lemon juice
Garlic
Paprika
Instructions
- Rinse and gut the sardines under cold running water. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and paprika (to taste) in a bowl. Place the sardines in a separate bowl and coat with the mixture.
- Let marinate for 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the sardines for 5 to 6 minutes, turning once.
Notes
- Canned sardines are a lower maintenance option than fresh sardines. Look for them packed in olive oil as opposed to soybean oil. If fat is a concern, you can also find sardines packed in water or tomato sauce.
- Sardines may be eaten straight out of the can or mixed with mustard and mayonnaise for a tuna salad substitute. For a protein boost, toss sardines on top of a salad or homemade pizza.
