When you hear the words salsa verde (aka green sauce), it can be a little confusing, because there is a Mexican and an Italian one. Mexican salsa verde is made with tomatillos, cilantro, garlic, and more, but here we use Italian salsa verde, an herby lemony sauce based on parsley and flavored with garlic, anchovies, and capers. It is so delicious spooned over the tuna here in this recipe, but you might want to make an extra batch to serve with grilled chicken, salmon, or beef.
