Marinated And Broiled Sardines Recipe

• About a dozen sardines, or three per portion, cleaned and gutted
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice wine
• One 2-inch piece of ginger, washed and thinly sliced
• Sections of lemon, for squeezing over the fish

1. Blot sardines on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine salt, sugar, soy sauce, rice wine, and ginger. Line up sardines on a platter and pour marinade on top, distributing liquid evenly. Cover platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to one day.
3. When ready to serve, turn on the broiler in oven and pat fish dry with paper towels. Line fish on a pan or skillet. Drizzle olive oil over the skins. Broil until skins are lightly brown and flesh has just begun to flake, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from broiler and squeeze on lemon juice, if desired. Serve immediately.
