Fremgangsmåde
Trin for trin
- 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
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
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ca. 8 min.
Kokkens note: A hot grill prevents sticking and creates a good sear.
- 4
Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking.
- 5
Place the seasoned sardines directly on the hot grill.
- 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
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.

Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
