Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Blend the tarragon with bread crumbs, salt and pepper, to taste, in a food processor, pulsing in the dill last.
Remove and stir in just enough melted butter to create the consistency of wet sand.
Pat the salmon dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large saute pan and sear the salmon, flesh side down, over medium- high heat, about 2 minutes. Do not crowd pan. Flip and top each fillet with the herb/crumb mixture.
Put the pan in the oven and bake until the fish flakes with a fork. About 8 to 12 minutes.
Transfer the fish to a platter and serve immediately.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine
"Our Indian Wells Chardonnay delivers an appealing tropical fruit character typical of warm sites like the Wahluke Slope. I like this Chardonnay's ripe pineapple and butterscotch flavors and rich, creamy texture. Try it with Scallops, scampi or pasta with rich sauces." - Bob Bertheau
