Lemon-Tarragon Salmon
Nutrivore Score: 718
Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, minced (or 2 teaspoons dried)
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoons pepper, cracked
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. I always use a silicone liner in my rimmed baking sheet when I’m cooking fish because it makes clean-up so much easier. You could also line with tin foil or parchment paper, or simply grease the baking sheet with a high smoke point fat like tallow, palm shortening, or avocado oil.
- Combine your finely chopped tarragon, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the top of your salmon (you won’t be flipping your fish, so no need to do both sides; if your salmon has skin on one side, place that side down on your baking sheet and season the other side).
- Bake for 15 minutes, until opaque throughout and segments flake apart easily. Serve with fresh lemon to squeeze over the top if you like.
