Instructions
1
Prep
Rinse the sardines under cold water, pat dry with paper towels, and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Grill
Brush the grill grates with olive oil and heat to high for 5 minutes until smoking. Lay the sardines on the hot grill and cook 3-4 minutes per side until the skin blisters, chars, and flesh pulls easily from the bone.
3
Finish
Mince the garlic clove, whisk it with the tablespoon of olive oil and sherry vinegar until evenly distributed, then scatter parsley over the mixture.
4
Plate
Arrange the grilled sardines on a plate, spoon the garlic-oil mixture over the top, and serve with lemon wedges and gluten-free bread alongside.
