One of the first recipes I made my family after going to cooking school was something called sauce vierge. It’s this French sauce made with fresh tomatoes, herbs, olive oil, and salt. Super simple, and something you guys have to make during tomato season :) All you do is combine everything together and let this sit for 15 or so minutes. I’m topping this on a simple lemon steamed salmon, but it’s great on any seafood.
For someone who grew up without eating much western food or herbs, this dish blew my mind. It makes a dish so elegant, even though it’s so simple to make. Pair with some crispy smashed potatoes and charred veggies and I promise you’ll impress anyone.
