"Discovering Portuguese Delights: Sardinhas Assadas (Grilled Sardines)"#imagenishvideos #viral

fresh sardines

🥗Healthier: grilled mackerel

💰Cheaper: canned sardines

Canned sardines are more accessible and still flavorful.

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

Sprinkle coarse sea salt evenly over both sides of the fish and let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the seasoning.

Prepare your charcoal grill and heat it until the coals are white hot.

Place the sardines on the grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side depending on their size.

You'll know they're done when the skin is crispy and slightly charred and the flesh is opaque and flaky.

Once the sardines are perfectly grilled, transfer them to a serving platter.

Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
