Grilled sardines

Instructions

1 Combine all the ingredients for the sauce. Place in the fridge for 20-30 minutes
to chill and allow the flavors to combine.
2 If using wooden skewers soak them in water for a minimum of 30 minutes prior.
3 Gut the sardines* see body passage for details.
4 Toss the sardines in a drizzle of avocado oil and a heavy pinch of salt. One by
one skewer the sardines, starting from inside the mouth until the skewer pops
out by the tail.
5 Preheat the grill to 500℉. Once preheated place the sardines directly on the
grates, it's easiest to only do a few at a time, and cook for 2-4 minutes on
each side.
6 Remove from the grill squeeze a generous amount of lemon, and top with the spicy
green onion sauce.
