Grilled fresh sardines with fennel and preserved lemon

This was another AJ, soupereasy project. Neither of us had cooked fresh sardines before, so it was a learning experiance as well. The use of fresh fennel, fennel seed and preserved lemon was lovely. I would make this to serve with other dishes. We cooked the sardines on a grill pan, did a wonderful job. Except that my hood vent really just recirculates so even with it running on high and the doors open, the aroma lingered in my condo...for @ 3 days. Next time I would like to try this with Spanish mackerel, and we will cook outside on a grill!
