Tips:
- Choose the right salmon steaks. Look for salmon steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a bright pink color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a dull color.
- Use fresh tarragon. Fresh tarragon has a more intense flavor than dried tarragon. If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried tarragon instead.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook the salmon steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through.
- Serve the salmon steaks immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep the salmon steaks warm, you can place them in a warm oven (200 degrees Fahrenheit) for up to 15 minutes.
Conclusion:
Tarragon salmon steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The combination of tarragon, lemon, and butter creates a flavorful and aromatic sauce that pairs perfectly with the salmon. Serve the salmon steaks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
