Method

Preheat the barbecue or charcoal grill to hot.

Mix the salmoriglio ingredients together in a small bowl.

Put the sardines directly onto a hot charcoal grill. Sprinkle them with salt, brush with a little of the salmoriglio and cook for 5 minutes per side. Serve the sardines either hot or cold, with the lemon quarters and the remainder of the salmoriglio.
