Baked salmon with tarragon is an elegant dish of European cuisine that combines simplicity in preparation with exquisite flavor. Salmon, known for its tender meat and rich aroma, takes on a special character thanks to the freshness of tarragon and the light spiciness of chives. Tarragon, popular in French cuisine, adds herbal, slightly anise notes that harmonize beautifully with the fish's richness. Baking in the oven preserves the salmon's juiciness while creating a soft texture and rich taste. This dish is perfect for both everyday dinners and festive gatherings, offering refined gastronomic pleasure with minimal effort. The ease of preparation and richness of flavors make it a favorite among seafood lovers.
