Instructions
- Remove the parsley leaves from the stalks. Put the parsley, anchovy fillets, capers and garlic on a chopping board and chop all together so that everything is cut up finely and starts to mix.
- Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and add the mustard, lemon juice, a few grinds of pepper and the olive oil. Mix all together and refrigerate until ready to use (will keep a few hours well, a day or two not bad but not as bright colors).
- Get a skillet/frying pan hot over a medium heat and add the butter.
- Swirl the butter round a little so it covers all the pan then add the bass fillets, skin sound down.
- Allow the fish to cook most of the way through - you will see it cook from the outside in.
- When the fish is still a bit uncooked in the middle, carefully turn it over. Cook for a couple more minutes, turn back to skin side down for a minute then serve.
- Stir the salsa and serve with the fish. Sides as you prefer but greens such as green beans and potatoes or salad work well.
Notes
- (see video above)
- Note the salsa verde can be made with other herbs as well, but I would always include a decent amount of parsley and keep the other herbs relatively mild/complementary eg basil, dill, tarragon.
