Preparation
- Put all the ingredients except the sardines into a bowl and mix with some seasoning. Pour into a baking dish, add the sardines, and toss really well. Cover and chill for a few hours.
- Heat a barbecue or griddle pan until hot, then cook the sardines for 4–5 minutes on each side until really caramelised and charred. Put onto a plate, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with a little more paprika, and squeeze over the lemon.
