Tips:

Choose skin-on salmon fillets for a crispy exterior and tender, moist flesh.
Pat the salmon fillets dry before cooking to ensure even searing.
Use fresh tarragon for the best flavor; dried tarragon can also be used, but it will not be as aromatic.
Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the salmon; this will prevent even cooking.
Sear the salmon fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the skin is crispy and the flesh is cooked through.
Serve the salmon fillets immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
