Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak 8 skewers in water for 30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Cut the 2 bell peppers and 1 red onion into 1-inch chunks. In a bowl, toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Thread the sardines and vegetables alternately onto the skewers, dividing evenly. Brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, until the sardines are opaque and lightly charred, and the vegetables are tender.
Step 5
While grilling, make the dressing: whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, and 1/4 cup chopped parsley.
Step 6
Serve the skewers hot, drizzled with the lemon-parsley dressing.
Step 7
Optional: add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the dressing for extra heat.
