For me, salsa verde is a the epitome of summer Mediterranean dining and its punchiness can pep up most fish dishes. I served the cod with the salsa verde with a chicory, roast squash and pomegranate salad with kefir dressing.
Tips – The length of cooking time for white fish will depend on its thickness. Perfectly cooked fish will flake and break up when a fork is taken to it. It should not be dry so make sure to watch carefully when cooking!
Food focus – Basil is full of antioxidant flavonoids which protect against oxidative and antibacterial oils.
