Salmon with green salsa

There are many variations on the traditional salsa verde, and all of them go beautifully with fresh salmon. This one uses lemon juice in place of vinegar, and leaves the garlic out for a lovely light, fresh sauce.

    finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Finely chop herbs, shallots, capers and anchovies. Combine in a bowl with oil, lemon rind and juice. Season well.

Tip
If you have any of the green salsa left over, you could also serve it with steak or lamb.
Variation
Dill and parsley go well with fish, but you could use other herbs combinations, e.g. chives, chervil, mint or basil.
