Method

  • step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. To make the salsa verde, put the herbs, mustard, capers, pine nuts, olives and the juice of the 1 ½ lemons in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped.

  • step 2

    Put the salmon fillets on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Squeeze over the juice of the remaining half lemon and season with freshly ground black pepper. Cook in the oven for 10 – 12 minutes or until cooked through.

  • step 3

    If serving with the rice, cook the rice according to the packet instructions. Mix together the olives, pine nuts and red pepper. Once the rice is cooked, stir through the olive mix.

  • step 4

    Pile the salsa verde on top of the salmon fillets. Serve with the rice.

This is awesome! l really wasn't too sure putting it all in the blender. I put maybe a little less mint in because I thought it would be overpowering but it was fine. I used 2 anchovies with 70g of green pitted olives and only 1 tbsp capers(rinsed). It's beautiful and would be lovely on steak or…

I can't believe how nice this dish is! The salsa verde is to die for!! The only change I made was not using mint as I am not a big fan. This dish so tasty, the whole family enjoyed including our son who isn't quite 2 yet. Will be a firm family favourite now.
