Grilled Sardines, Coriander and Cumin

• 8 very fresh sardines, scaled and gutted
• 1 young garlic clove, finely chopped
• 1½ teaspoons

Salt the sardines generously. Heat a barbecue, a griddle pan or a heavy frying pan over a high heat and add the sardines. They need literally a couple of minutes on each side, just until the flesh turns opaque, so be careful not to overcook them. Bear in mind that they will continue to cook a little even after they are taken off the heat.

When ready, transfer to a plate and scatter all
