This powerfully flavored salsa verde is so easy to make. A little goes a long way in terms of flavor and you don’t want to overshadow the lovely flavor of what it is served with, so only a small drizzle is needed per person. Here, I serve it over salmon, but pork, chicken, or steak will all be delicious – as will any white fish.

Chef Tips:

• Using a garlic press is always advised if garlic is eaten raw. It ensures the peeled cloves are crushed evenly, resulting in a better flavor and texture. It also means no one will be chewing on large bits of raw garlic.
• If you choose to double this recipe or make a double batch of the salsa verde, you can simply add everything to a mini food processor (food chopper) and blitz.

Ingredients

• 0.4 oz flatleaf parsley
• 1 TB small capers, drained and finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, crushed with a garlic press
• 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
• 1 TB red wine vinegar
• 2 TB olive oil, plus extra drizzle to fry the salmon
• 4 boneless salmon fillets, skin on (approx. 4.6 oz/ each) (we use Butcher Box seafood)
• Your favorite mixed salad leaves, to serve (optional)
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Finely chop the parsley, working your knife on it very well. Place into a small bowl along with the chopped capers and crushed garlic.
2. Finely chop the picked thyme leaves (you must yield around ½ TB) and add to the bowl. Add the red wine vinegar and two tablespoons of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine and set aside.
3. Drizzle some olive oil into a large non-stick pan over high heat. Fry the salmon skin-side down for 1-2 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip to fry all sides until the salmon is done to your liking, approx. another 2-4 minutes.
4. Serve the salmon with a little salsa verde drizzled over and enjoy with your favorite salad or steamed greens alongside.
