Trin for trin

1. 1

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

   Ca. 2 min.

   Kokkens note: Ensuring the sardines are very dry helps them crisp up nicely on the grill.

2. 2

   Season the sardines generously on all sides with the coarse sea salt.

   Ca. 1 min.

   Kokkens note: Don't be shy with the salt; it helps draw out moisture and flavor the fish.

3. 3

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

   Ca. 8 min.

   Kokkens note: A hot grill prevents sticking and creates a good sear.

4. 4

   Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking.

5. 5

   Place the seasoned sardines directly on the hot grill.

6. 6

   Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the skin is crispy and slightly charred, and the flesh is cooked through.

   Ca. 10 min.

   Kokkens note: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the sardines and your grill's heat. The fish should easily flake when done.

7. 7

   Carefully remove the grilled sardines from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.

   Ca. 1 min.

   Kokkens note: Use a fish spatula to avoid breaking the delicate fish.

8. 8

   Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

   Kokkens note: These are traditionally eaten with boiled potatoes or a simple salad.
