Salmoriglio is a bit like a variation of Salsa Verde from Sicily. Like Salsa Verde , it goes very well with plain grilled fish. The eminent Mr. Stein does it with swordfish, which I am sure is very good. I’ve tried it with grey mullet which was also very good.
The original recipe says that the addition of celery herb/celery leaves is optional but I rather think it would miss something without it. I’ve increased the lemon juice a tad in place of a splash or two more of water.
