No Fuss Cooking Recipe - Baked Tarragon Salmon Fillets

Simple, but somewhat heartwarming.

Baked tarragon salmon fillets -

Ingredients (4 portions)?

• 4 salmon fillets
• 1 lemon
• 4 to 5 sprigs fresh tarragon
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves
• Some salt
• Some black pepper
• Some olive oil

How?

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush some oil to the baking dish to prevent sticking.

Season salmon fillets with some salt and pepper on both sides. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Slice the lemon.

Lay the salmon fillets into baking dish. Sprinkle chopped garlic and some dried thyme over. Also put a few sprigs of fresh tarragon on top.

Top the fillets with lemon slices and put 1 tablespoon of butter on each fillet.

Into the oven and bake for about 25 minutes or so, actual time varies depending on the thickness of the fish.

I think it works well with rice pilaf, otherwise mashed potatoes will do. Keep it simple and comforting.

By the way, this entire week is Chinese New Year holiday, so Happy New Year folks! Also if you're wondering, it's pig's turn based on Chinese Zodiac. Perhaps I should cook up some more pork recipes this year.
