Salmon with Salsa Verde

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.
