Grilled Sardines

Serves: 4

Print this Recipe

(Sarde alla Griglia)
Category: Whole Fish
Small, tasty fish like sardines, smelts, and anchovies are irresistible when cooked on the grill. At a barbecue dinner at a winery in Abruzzo, the guests arrived to find rows and rows of the little fish cooking over a charcoal fire. Though it looked like there were too many, they soon disappeared, washed down with glasses of chilled white trebbiano wine.
A basket grill does a good job of holding and turning the little fish as they cook. If you are fortunate enough to grow your own lemon or orange trees and they have not been treated with chemicals, use some of the leaves to garnish the serving platter. Otherwise, radicchio or firm lettuce leaves will do.


   12 to 16 fresh sardines or smelts, cleaned
   2 tablespoons olive oil
   Salt and freshly ground black pepper
   Untreated lemon leaves or radicchio
   2 lemons, cut into wedges


1 Place a barbecue grill or broiler rack about 5 inches away from the heat source. Preheat a barbecue grill or broiler.

2 Pat the sardines dry and brush with the oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or broil the fish until nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Gently turn the fish over and cook until browned on the other side, about 2 to 3 minutes more.

3 Arrange the leaves on a platter. Top with the sardines and garnish with the lemon wedges. Serve hot.
