I bought delicious looking sardines! Usually my mother simmers them, but I wanted to try them grilled.
I used ingredients I love - umeboshi, ginger, miso, and sesame. Enjoy with a bowlful of rice when it's piping hot. Once cooled, it tastes like semi-dried fish and makes a great appetizer with beer.

I've used fairly large sardines here.
When grilling the fish, I started out with the heat set to low in order cook through them thoroughly. If the sesame seeds start burning when you raise the heat to medium, cover the fish with a sheet of aluminium foil. For 2 servings. Recipe by naonaos.
