SIMPLE GRILLED SARDINES
Grilled fresh sardines are often offered on restaurant menus, but it's very easy to make them at home, whether over hot coals or under the broiler. At the fishmonger, look for firm, shiny, glistening specimens. Sardines are a sustainable fish choice and are high in healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Most importantly, they are extremely delicious. For a Mediterranean touch, grill the fish on fig leaves: After cooking the sardines on one side, lay four fig leaves on the grill and place two fish, cooked side up, on top of each leaf to finish cooking. The fig leaves will add a subtle perfume to the sardines (they look beautiful, too), but they are not edible.

Steps:
- Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire or stovetop grill pan, or light the broiler.
- Season sardines inside and out with salt and pepper and paint both sides lightly with olive oil.
- Lay sardines on the grill and cook them on one side for about 2 minutes, until nicely browned. (Sardines rarely stick to the grill.) Carefully flip sardines and cook for about 2 minutes more, until just done.
- Transfer each portion to individual plates. Put the sliced fennel in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dress with about 2 tablespoons olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Place a pile of dressed fennel evenly on each plate. Serve with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of parsley.

Transfer immediately to the arugula-lined platter and serve with lemon wedges.
GRILLED SARDINES
Steps:
- Scale and gut the sardines (you can have your fishmonger do this). Wash the sardines under cold, running water and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly salt the sardines with coarse sea salt and refrigerate. Meanwhile, boil 2 potatoes until a knife is easily inserted. Drain and cool.
- Roast 2 red bell peppers over an open flame until charred. Place in a bowl and cover it with plastic to allow it to steam for approximately 20 minutes. Remove the plastic and peel and seed the peppers.
- Cut peppers into 3-inch wide strips and combine in bowl with 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/8 cup white wine vinegar, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Preheat a grill.
- Place the sardines on a hot grill. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and place on the grill. When the sardines are done on first side, flip them over, and give the potatoes a quarter turn to create the grill marks.
- Place 3 sardines on each plate with 2 potato halves and some red pepper salad. For decoration and extra flavor, sprinkle with some thinly sliced onions and garlic over the sardines and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
- The ideal accompaniment for this dish is some Portuguese rolls and a nicely chilled Vinho Verde Portuguese wine.

Steps:
- Prepare the grill, adjusting the rack 2 inches above the coals.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the vinegar, 1/2 cup of the oil, the mustard, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt until well blended. Set aside.
- Clean the sardines by pinching the gills on both sides at the base of the head and pulling the gills out. Slide your fingers along the belly cavity and pull out the innards. Rinse the sardines in cold water, rubbing the skin to get rid of the scales. Wipe the sardines dry with paper towels, toss them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and refrigerate.
- When the grill is very hot, grill the sardines directly on the rack or in a hinged grilling basket until they are crispy and well browned, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the sardines to a platter and season on both sides with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Meanwhile, whisk the vinaigrette in the saucepan over high heat until it just begins to bubble. (Do not let it boil.) Remove from the heat. Put the arugula in a large bowl and toss it with the warm vinaigrette. Divide the greens among 4 plates and top each with 3 sardines. Serve immediately.

GRILLED SARDINES
What to do about seafood? Nutritionists say we should eat more, that many types of fish are nutritious and contain fats that seem to protect the heart. I know from experience that many of them can make for fine meals. If you've only had sardines from a can, you may turn up your nose at them. Fresh ones will change your mind. Brush them with olive oil, toss a few sprigs of rosemary onto a hot grill, and grill them. Sardines take two to three minutes to grill and about that long to eat. They're a rare treat and a great nutritional package, containing omega-3 fats, selenium, vitamin B12, calcium, niacin and phosphorus.

Steps:
- Prepare a hot grill, making sure the grill is oiled. Rinse the sardines, and dry with paper towels. Toss with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- When the grill is ready, toss the rosemary sprigs directly on the fire. Wait for the flames to die down, then place the sardines directly over the heat, in batches if necessary. Grill for a minute or two on each side, depending on the size. Transfer from the grill to a platter using tongs or a wide metal spatula, and serve with lemon wedges.
