Grilled Salmon with Tarragon Mayonnaise Time: 20 minutes
2 salmon fillets - 6 - 8 oz each (200gr each) or steaks, if your prefer
1 tbs olive oil
2 tbs snipped fresh tarragon
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs snipped fresh chives
1 clove minced garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
Mix 1 tbs tarragon, lemon, chives, garlic and mayo and set aside. Brush salmon with the oil and sprinkle with remaining 1 tbs fresh tarragon. Cook over barbecue grill 5 - 10 minutes depending on heat of grill (gas will normally be about 10 min) or bake in 400 degree oven for 10 - 15 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. Transfer to a plate, add tarragon mayonnaise on the side.
