Nothing beats the simplicity of fresh sardines grilled over charcoal with a bright tomato-cucumber salad. This is comfort food in Morocco – affordable, nutritious, and perfect for meal prep.
The sardines are seasoned with salt, pepper, and cumin, then grilled until the skin is crispy. The salad is just diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions with olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs.
Total prep time: 30 minutes
Serves: 3-4 people
Storage: Sardines keep well for 2-3 days refrigerated, salad stays fresh for 2 days
This combination gives you high-quality protein, omega-3s, and fresh vegetables – all for under $8 total. The flavors actually improve overnight as everything marinates together.
Perfect for Sunday prep when you want something healthy, budget-friendly, and authentically delicious.

it looks tasty. do you.. eat the head?
love me a sardines salad, not an everyday food type but I haven’t eaten it in a while so now I am craving it
Oh I have been to Morocco and it was so good! At home it’s only sardines in a can …
Wow, this looks super delicious, I’ll definitely give this recipe a try. It’s my favorite fish! My dad always makes it when I visit him, but we usually prepare it fried.
