A delightful salmon dish with a creamy herb sauce, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the salmon inside for even cooking.
Melt half of the butter in a roasting pan.
Use low heat to avoid browning the butter.
Place the salmon fillets in the butter, turning to coat evenly. Sprinkle with salt.
Ensure the salmon is well coated for a rich flavor.
Bake the salmon in the oven for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through.
Turning the salmon ensures even cooking on both sides.
In a small saucepan, combine the white wine, tarragon, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Stir constantly to prevent the mustard from sticking to the pan.
Simmer the sauce for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in the remaining butter until melted.
Adding the butter off heat ensures a smooth and creamy sauce.
Divide the salmon into servings and drizzle the sauce over each portion.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh tarragon for an elegant touch.
