Ingredients:

4 tbsp chives
12g
4 salmon fillets
1580g
2 tbsp tarragon (estragon)
3.60g
1.33 cups basil leaves
8g
1/2 cup mayonnaise salad dressing
120g
1 tbsp vinegar
15g
1 tbsp horseradish
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Green Goddess Sauce:
- In a food processor, combine the finely chopped chives, tarragon, and basil leaves.
- Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, and prepared horseradish to the food processor.
- Blend all the ingredients until you have a smooth and creamy sauce. Adjust the seasoning if necessary (e.g., add salt and pepper to taste).
3. Prepare the Salmon Fillets:
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- Season each fillet with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Cook the Salmon:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
5. Serve:
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven.
- Plate each salmon fillet and generously spoon the horseradish green goddess sauce over the top or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
6. Garnish and Enjoy:
- If desired, garnish with additional chopped herbs and a wedge of lemon.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Utilize the freshest salmon and herbs available to enhance the flavors. Fresh ingredients will significantly improve the dish's overall taste and presentation.

- Do Not Overcook the Salmon: Salmon tends to dry out if overcooked. Aim for a medium doneness where the salmon is still moist and flaky.

- Customize the Sauce: Adjust the level of horseradish and vinegar to suit your taste preferences. If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the horseradish slightly.

- Let the Sauce Rest: Allowing the green goddess sauce to sit for a bit before serving can help the flavors meld together, making the sauce even more delicious.

- Serve with Complementary Sides: Pair the salmon with sides such as steamed vegetables, a light salad, or roasted potatoes to create a balanced and satisfying meal.

This Salmon with horseradish green goddess sauce is a simple yet sophisticated dish that can easily become a staple in your culinary repertoire. The combination of tender salmon and the vibrant sauce creates a memorable meal that is sure to impress family and guests alike.
