Haddock And Salsa Verde Food

GRILLED FISH WITH SALSA VERDE

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.

HADDOCK AND SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Place chopped onion, carrot and parsley in a pan with 1 litre of water, the wine, peppercorns, bay leaf and a sprinkling of salt.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the salsa verde.
• Start by rinsing the capers and patting them dry.
• Throw the capers in a food processor, along with the chilli, shallot, basil, gherkins, dill and a bit of zest from your lemon or lime.
• Chop the parsley leaves until you have about 4 tablespoons and add them too, along with a bit of salt and pepper.
• Blitz until everything is chopped and mixed.
• Keep the motor running and slowly add the olive oil to make a pesto-type, thick, green sauce.
• You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Ten minutes before you want to eat, strain the fresh bouillon into a large, deep frying pan.
• Bring it to a boil, place the fish in the pan and poach until just cooked through (as little as three minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish).
• Carefully lift the fish onto warmed plates, spoon the sauce over the top and serve.
