BY CHEF ALEX RAIJ

INGREDIENTS

  • 12 fresh Sardines (I calculate 3 per person)
  • 4 large slices good boule shaped bread or 12 slices baguette cut on bias.
  • 1 cup salt
  • 5 cups water
  • Olive oil
  • Smoked sea salt
  • Garlic clove

GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

  • Rinse the sardines under cold running water massaging gently to release the scales (which are edible if you are grilling outdoors or indoors)
  • Dissolve salt in water and soak the sardines in salted water 10 minutes
  • Pat the sardines dry
  • Prepare your grill or grill pan to medium hot
  • Grill or char the bread, then rub with garlic clove to perfume it
  • Drizzle the bread with good quality Spanish olive oil
  • Brush sardines with just a little oil and grill for a few minutes on each side and top with a pinch of smoked sea salt
  • Serve the sardines atop the toast to catch the juices
  • Enjoy with Manzanilla Sherry for the win
