Salmon And Potatoes - Oven Baked
With Tarragon And Mustard Sauce
A classic recipe maybe... But the combination of the hot salmon and potatoes with the cold sauce is simply irresistible. Works well also with some chilli over it or pickled cucumbers nearby :)
For a more flavoured sauce, you can add a half t-spoon of honey for a sweeter taste ... Or a half t-spoon of grated horseradish … Or some grated ginger ... You can explore.
