Description

This elegant dish features tender, flaky salmon fillets grilled to perfection and topped with a vibrant tarragon aioli. The creamy sauce blends fresh tarragon leaves with rich mayonnaise, capers, and green onions for a burst of herbal brightness that cuts through the richness of the fish. The salmon develops a beautiful char on the outside while remaining moist and succulent within. It is an impressive yet simple meal perfect for summer dinners or special weeknight gatherings. The combination of smoky grill flavors and fresh herbs makes this a standout main course that feels luxurious without being overly complicated to prepare. Serve with crisp vegetables or a light salad for a balanced plate.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped fresh tarragon, capers, minced green onion tops, freshly ground black pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice to create the aioli.
  2. Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them to allow the skin to crisp.
  5. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove the salmon from the grill and immediately top each fillet with a generous dollop of the tarragon aioli.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh tarragon leaves if desired.
