Italian-Style Salsa Verde
The food from John Gorham, chef of the Toro Bravo restaurant group in Portland, vibrates with big flavors; a perfect example is this herb-laden fresh sauce that's perfect for drizzling over the Northwest Seafood Boil or other steamed seafood. If you don't have fennel fronds, you can just add a bit more of the other herbs or use fresh dill instead.
