Sardinhas Assadas

Sardinhas Assadas is a traditional Portuguese dish made with grilled or roasted sardines marinated in olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat.
Clean the sardines by removing the scales and guts, and rinse them under cold water.
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Place the sardines in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
Grill or roast the sardines for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and slightly charred.
Remove the sardines from the grill or oven and sprinkle them with fresh parsley.
Serve the Sardinhas Assadas hot with a side of roasted potatoes or a fresh salad.
