Parsley & garlic sardines

Put all the marinade ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to the boil, then remove from the heat.

Place the sardines on a hot barbecue or on a preheated hot griddle or under a hot grill. Cook for 1–2 minutes on each side until crisp and golden.

Arrange the sardines in a single layer in a shallow serving dish. Pour the warm marinade over the sardines and serve hot. Alternatively, cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving cold.
