Grilled Sardines (Low-Calorie)
Whole sardines rubbed with olive oil, garlic and smoked paprika, grilled quickly over high heat until the skin blisters, then finished with lemon and parsley. A light, smoky Spanish tapa served with a simple tomato salad instead of bread or extra oil, keeping the dish lean.
