  1. Gut the sardines and rinse them quickly to remove the blood (preferably with salt water).
  2. Peel and chop the garlic. Zest half a lime, and juice both limes. Peel the ginger and slice it thinly.
  3. Place the sardines in a container and cover them with the garlic and ginger. Pour over the lemon juice and olive oil. Let marinate for about 2 hours, or a little longer.
  4. Light the griddle, medium heat. Grill the sardines on the griddle, about 3 minutes on each side, sprinkling with a little coriander.
  5. Place in a dish, sprinkle with fleur de sel, and serve with lemon wedges and a little more chopped cilantro. Add steamed potatoes. Enjoy!
