Salmon Baked in Salsa Verde

By roasting the fish with its sauce the flavors integrate in the pan and the cook is saved the bother of making a separate sauce.

  • 6 4-ounce wild Alaskan salmon fillets*

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

  • Salsa Verde:

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 poblano chile, stemmed, seeded, and chopped

  • ½ bunch cilantro leaves, chopped

  • ½ bunch Italian parsley leaves, chopped

  • 6 green onions, white and light green only, trimmed and chopped

  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

  • 3 Roma tomatoes, cored, seeded, and chopped

  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • ⅓ cup water

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Season salmon all over with salt and pepper and place in an oiled, ovenproof baking dish.

  • To make the salsa, combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree.

  • Pour the salsa over the fish in the pan and bake 8 to 12 minutes, until the thickest part of the fish is done. Serve hot with lemon wedges and salsa spooned on top.

  • * According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program, wild salmon from Alaska is a Best Choice and wild salmon from California, Oregon, and Washington are a Good Alternative. Avoid farmed salmon. For more info about sustainable seafood, go to www.seafoodwatch.org.
