BROILED SARDINES WITH LEMON AND THYME
This is a dish that is both humble and elegant, full of flavor, with the glistening silver skin of the sardines crisping in the heat. It's also not fussy in the slightest, which means it could easily serve as the centerpiece of a light weeknight meal, with a large bowl of greens and crusty bread. First, heat the broiler (and with it, a sturdy pan), then stuff the sardines with whole thyme sprigs and sliced lemon. (Seasoned bread crumbs would be another sound addition.) Place the sardines in the pan with a generous slick of olive oil and run them under the broiler for about 5 minutes, without flipping, until the flesh is opaque and the skin is browned. Serve them whole, laid out on a platter, garnished with extra thyme branches and other chopped herbs if you have them. To eat, use a fork to tease away the white meat from the top of the skeleton, then carefully remove the intact skeleton to reveal the bottom filet.

Steps:
- Heat the broiler until hot. Move the oven rack as close to the heat source as possible (four to two inches away). Heat a sturdy pan for about 5 minutes.
- Wrap a lemon slice around each thyme sprig and stuff inside the sardines; sprinkle with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, remove it from the oven and pour in half of the olive oil, then put the sardines in the pan and drizzle with the remaining oil. Broil for 4 to 5 minutes, then check the sardines; they're ready when they're opaque, the tip of a knife flakes the thickest part easily, and the outside is nicely browned.
- To serve, carefully remove the sardines with a spatula, sprinkle with more herbs if you like, and pour the pan juices over all. Serve with lemon wedges.

SIMPLE GRILLED SARDINES
Grilled fresh sardines are often offered on restaurant menus, but it's very easy to make them at home, whether over hot coals or under the broiler. At the fishmonger, look for firm, shiny, glistening specimens. Sardines are a sustainable fish choice and are high in healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Most importantly, they are extremely delicious. For a Mediterranean touch, grill the fish on fig leaves: After cooking the sardines on one side, lay four fig leaves on the grill and place two fish, cooked side up, on top of each leaf to finish cooking. The fig leaves will add a subtle perfume to the sardines (they look beautiful, too), but they are not edible.

Steps:
- Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire or stovetop grill pan, or light the broiler.
- Season sardines inside and out with salt and pepper and paint both sides lightly with olive oil.
- Lay sardines on the grill and cook them on one side for about 2 minutes, until nicely browned. (Sardines rarely stick to the grill.) Carefully flip sardines and cook for about 2 minutes more, until just done.
- Transfer each portion to individual plates. Put the sliced fennel in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dress with about 2 tablespoons olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Place a pile of dressed fennel evenly on each plate. Serve with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of parsley.
