Salmon in Parsley Sauce image

Parsley is the herb taken for granted. A few sprigs solve the garnish problem. A scattering of chopped leaves enlivens almost any dish with a bright bit of green. But parsley can take a more assertive role, becoming the primary component of a sauce. Here, flat-leaf parsley is combined with capers, scallions and garlic to make a sharp, verdant sauce for salmon. It contrasts perfectly with the richness of the fish.

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
4 teaspoons capers
1 tablespoon finely minced scallion
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds salmon fillets, cut in 6 portions
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the parsley, capers, scallion and garlic in a bowl. Stir in half the olive oil. Set aside.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my liking, but the sauce was very good.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to the sauce.
