Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Lightly brush the fillets on both sides with u00bd teaspoon of the oil and arrange them in a single layer on a foil-lined cookie sheet.
To make the sauce, place the water, lemon rind, tarragon, vinegar, shallots, salt and pepper, garlic, and the remaining 2 u00bd tablespoons of oil in a small bowl. Mix well.
Preheat the broiler. Place the fillets under the broiler so they are no more than 2u201d from the heat. Broil for 5 minutes or until all are cooked. Remove from the oven, cover, and set aside for 2 minutes.
To serve, place a fillet on each plate. Drizzle about 1 u00bd tablespoons of sauce on each fillet.

Notes

Since we are broiling the salmon, I recommend using skin-on filets. The skin will hold the salmon together when it crisps up and keep it moist internally. The broiler works best for small individual portions, as they cook evenly. If you have a larger portion, such as a whole salmon, I recommend baking it at 425°F, which allows the fish to cook more evenly. Always keep a keen eye on your food when broiling. Since your food is about 6 inches from the heat source, it will cook faster and burn even faster. Do not let this deter you from enjoying a crispy outer and tender inside salmon.
