Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp freshly chopped oregano leaves
2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley leaves
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp sea salt, plus more for seasoning
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
12 to 16 fresh whole sardines, cleaned , scaled, rinsed and dried
bread crumbs
crusty bread for serving, optional
parmesan, for garnish

Directions:

Preheat a grill or broiler to high.
In a mortar and pestle, combine the oregano and parsley with the crushed red pepper, sea salt and pound until well crushed. Add the lemon juice and drizzle in the olive oil until well combined. Add a pinch of pepper, if desired. Set aside at room temperature until you are ready to serve the sardines.
Season the sardines well on both sides with salt and pepper. Place directly on the grill and cook, turning once, until the skin is crispy and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side, depending on the size of the fish. Season the fish with the herb sauce, sprinkle with the bread crumbs and then finish in the oven, if desired.
Transfer the fish to a serving platter and drizzle with the herb sauce. Serve immediately, with crusty bread, if desired, and garnish with Parmesan.
