Method

  1. 1

    Mix the garlic, coriander, ground cumin, paprika, half the lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil to make the chermoula, then rub it over the sardines, inside and out.

  2. 2

    Heat a griddle pan or grill to high and cook the sardines for 3-4 minutes each side, until the skin is charred and the flesh flakes easily.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes, parsley and red onion with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice to make the salad.

  4. 4

    Serve the grilled sardines with the tomato and parsley salad alongside.
