Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

For the salsa verde

a bunch of flat-leaf parsley, leaves only, finely chopped
a bunch of chives, chopped
a bunch of basil, chopped
a bunch of mint, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
4 anchovy fillets, chopped
2tbsp capers, rinsed and well chopped
150ml/5fl oz extra virgin olive oil
salt to taste and freshly ground black pepper
2tbsp red wine vinegar

For the salmon

4 salmon fillets 175-250g/6-8oz
1tbsp olive oil
sea salt and ground black pepper

In a small bowl, mix together the parsley, chives, basil, mint, garlic, anchovies and capers. Stir in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. The sauce may be prepared several hours ahead. Just before serving, add the vinegar and adjust the seasoning.

Heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas6. Pour the oil into a pan and place over a medium heat. Season the salmon well and when the oil has begun to smoke lay the fillets skin-side down. Cook for 2 minutes without turning, then place in the oven and finish cooking for a further 2-3 minutes.

Remove from the oven and divide among 4 plates. Spoon over the salsa verde and serve with lemon.
