Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the salmon evenly.
- Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat it dry with a kitchen towel.
- Place the salmon fillet in a shallow baking dish, skin-side down if there is skin on your fillet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillet, using a brush or your fingers to coat the fish evenly.
- Sprinkle the tarragon evenly over the fillet. Tarragon adds a lovely, aromatic flavor that pairs well with salmon.
- Scatter the finely chopped chives over the fish, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Place the baking dish with the seasoned salmon in the preheated oven.
- Roast the salmon for about 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillet.
Ensure the fish is cooked through and opaque. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) when checked with a food thermometer in the thickest part of the fillet.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
- Transfer the roasted salmon to a serving plate.
Tips:
- Make sure your salmon is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
- Preheat your oven to ensure even cooking and a nice, crispy exterior on the salmon.
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel before applying the olive oil and herbs to help the seasoning stick better.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that your salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
- Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice over the top of the salmon after roasting for an extra burst of freshness.
