Roasted Salmon, Cherry Tomatoes & Green Beans with Herby Salsa Verde
by Brava Chef Annie x Lettuce Grow
About this Recipe
We’re partnering with Lettuce Grow for Earth Day to help you eat green. Here, we’re roasting up salmon, cherry tomatoes, and green beans and bringing it all together with a herby salsa verde. All of the produce used here can be harvested from Lettuce Grow’s vertical garden, the Farmstand, which allows you to grow your own produce in three to seven weeks - reducing water and transportation emissions exponentially. We’ll cook to that! These ingredients can also be found at your local grocery store or farmer’s market. Save the leftover herby salsa verde and enjoy it on eggs, in sandwiches, or on cooked proteins.

Make herby salsa verde
- While the meal cooks in the Brava, prepare the herby salsa verde.
- In mixing bowl, toss parsley, Genovese basil, and chives. Zest or grate peel from lemon and fold into herbs, if desired. Add juice of half of the lemon to the bowl, saving the other half for serving. Add garlic, capers, and generous pinch of salt to bowl. Fold in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil just before serving.

Finish & serve
- When your food is done, cut salmon in half crosswise. This will stop the cooking process and maintain your preferred doneness.
- Arrange vegetables on individual plates and place salmon on top. Spoon some of the herby salsa verde over vegetables and salmon. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired and finish with freshly cracked black pepper.
