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.
Roasted salmon with tarragon and chives is an easy and elegant dish that's sure to impress. With minimal ingredients and a straightforward approach, this recipe allows the natural flavors of the salmon and herbs to shine. Serve it alongside your favorite sides for a complete, satisfying meal.
