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.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (8 ounce) center-cut salmon fillets, with skin
ΒΌ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 pinch cayenne pepper

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.

The salmon was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would cook the salmon for a shorter amount of time next time.
