Grilled sardines with courgette and red pepper salsa

Method

1. Heat the grill to high or get the barbecue ready. Toss the courgette, peppers and chilli in a bowl with 1 tbsp of the oil, the paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill or barbecue the vegetables for about 5 minutes, reserving the bowl of seasoned oil. Remove the chilli and set it aside, then cook the veg for another 5 minutes, turning, until charred and tender.
2. Meanwhile, toss the sardines in the seasoned oil, then set aside. Stir together the garlic, parsley, capers, vinegar and remaining 1⁄2 tbsp oil in a large bowl. When the veg is ready, deseed the chilli and finely chop it. Roughly chop the courgette, deseed and roughly chop the peppers, then stir them all into the garlic mixture.
3. Grill the sardines, skin-side up (down if barbecuing), for 2 minutes, then turn and cook for another minute until the flesh flakes easily. Divide the veg and fish between plates and serve with bread.
