Sensational Salt-bath Sardines

Sardines and mackerel are two of the very best BBQ fish, although my personal favourite is the sardine! Encased in sea-salt, quickly grilled, (guts-in) then drizzled with a strong green extra virgin olive oil with a hearty squeeze of limes, simply sublime!

  • Serving Size4 (as a starter)

    What you need

    • 12 large sardines
    • 1 pack of coarse sea salt
    • 25 ml EV olive oil
    • Juice of 2 limes
    • Sea salt & rainbow peppercorn to taste

    What you do

    1
    Wash the sardines and gut or not (adds flavour) Sprinkle a good layer of sea salt on foil and place sardines on top, then sprinkle more salt over, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove sardines from fridge, brush off most of the salt and place on a fish grill tray Mix oil and juice of ½ lime and brush over the fish Grill on high heat on grill tray, about 4-5 minutes per side, baste with oil & lime juice. Serve with remaining oil & lime juice, season with sea salt & rainbow peppercorn.
