Grilled Salmon with Tarragon Mayonnaise
Total time: 20 minutes
Tarragon and chives are the first herbs to come up in the spring.
They make a light mayonnaise perfect with grilled fish.
Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets, 6oz each (180gr each), or steaks, if your prefer
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1/2 tsp dried dill weed
- Tarragon Mayonnaise:
- 1 tbs snipped fresh tarragon
- 1 tbs snipped fresh chives
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 1 clove minced garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
Instructions:
- Brush salmon with the oil and sprinkle with dill weed.
- Cook on barbecue grill 5 - 7 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
- OR put on baking sheet and roast in 400 F oven for 15 - 20 minutes, depending on thickness. Steaks will take a few minutes longer than fillets. Salmon should flake easily with fork when done but it's okay to have it still a bit pink in the center.
- Tarragon Mayonnaise
- Mix tarragon, chives, lemon, garlic and mayo.
- When salmon is done, remove to plates and serve, tarragon mayonnaise on the side.
