I am working though posting some recipes from my Portuguese cookbooks, this one is adapted from Portuguese cooking by Hilaire Walden. I like this recipe because it's great for the weight conscious, no butter, egg or milk in the sauce, it uses potato to thicken the sauce. I plan on making this recipe but if you make it before I do, I would appreciate the feedback. You could use a leftover boiled or mashed potato, instead of cooking just one especially for this if you wanted to.

GRILLED FISH WITH SALSA VERDE

This parsley sauce, made with capers and garlic, is a perfect complement to mild-tasting cod. You could use other fish, or try the sauce on grilled meat, chicken or vegetables. No grill? Broil the fish instead: Put it on a sheet pan, position the oven rack about 4 inches or so below the broiler and heat it to high. Cook the fish for just a few minutes; there's no need to flip it, and it will cook fast.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), halved, green shoots removed
Salt to taste
1 anchovy fillet, rinsed (optional)
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup (tightly packed) flat-leaf parsley leaves (25 grams)
2 pounds cod
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • To make the salsa verde, combine the garlic, anchovy fillet, salt and capers in a mini food processor and pulse to a paste. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender and combine the ingredients in a jar and blend to a paste.) Add the olive oil and parsley and blend to a purée. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If using within a few hours, allow to sit at room temperature. Otherwise, refrigerate. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
  • Prepare a hot grill. When the grill is ready, season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and brush generously on both sides with olive oil. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side, just until you can pull the flesh apart with a fork. Remove from the heat and serve with the salsa verde.

Tips:

  • If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute fish stock or water.
  • To prevent the sauce from curdling, add the eggs one at a time and whisk constantly.
  • Serve the linguado com salsa verde immediately, garnished with fresh parsley leaves.
