Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2
Remove salmon skin and any pin bones; pat dry. Rub both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on the baking skeet.
Step 3
Roast in the preheated oven until the thickest part is still translucent and an instant-read thermometer reads at least 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), about 15 minutes; salmon will continue to cook once out of the oven.
Step 4
While salmon is roasting, prepare tartar sauce: combine mayonnaise, sour cream, tarragon, relish, capers, shallot, white wine vinegar, lemon zest, Dijon, sugar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix until blended. Chill to blend flavors until salmon is ready.
Step 5
Remove salmon from the oven. Transfer to a platter and garnish with lemon slices and tarragon. Serve with tartar sauce.
