Remove fish heads, if desired, and discard. Rinse sardines under cold water. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Place sardines on a grill or under a hot broiler. Cook about 2 minutes per side, until flesh is just firm and skin lightly browned. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
