CHEF JOHN'S SALMON
I love the combination of tarragon and Italian parsley, but I've used herbs like basil and thyme, which worked wonderfully as well. As far as the fish goes, a center-cut salmon filet is a perfect thickness for this, but other similarly shaped seafood will work.

Steps:
- Season salmon fillets with kosher salt. Line a baking baking sheet with foil and brush lightly with vegetable oil.
- Preheat oven's broiler on high and set the oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source.
- Process garlic, tarragon, and parsley in a blender or mortar and pestle to form a loose paste.
- Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper into garlic paste until combined.
- Place salmon fillets skin side down on the baking sheet. Spoon herb spread over the top and sides of each fillet.
- Cook under the preheated broiler until fillets are well-browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the broiler off and turn the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake until the internal temperature of the salmon is 130 degrees F (55 degrees C) and salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 3 to 4 minutes.

- Bake the salmon loaf until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the salmon loaf should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the salmon loaf cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep the salmon loaf from falling apart.
