Tarragon Sauce

Was planning on pan roasting some salmon tonight for dinner so I thought they would go well with some Tarragon Yogurt Sauce. I started by getting my onions and garlic sweating in some olive oil. The online recipe says to then add 2Tb of stock + 2Tb of cornstarch, but in the episode he mixes the cornstarch in a jar with the full cup of stock, so that is what I did. Another difference from the online recipe is that in the show he adds the tarragon at this point, too, which is also what I did. After adding the slurry, I let it cook until it was thickened.

Then, another difference between the two – in the show he makes a big deal about tempering the yogurt while the online recipe says to just add it. I did the show version and slowly tempered the yogurt in a separate bowl before adding it all back to the pan with some salt and pepper.

After turning the heat back on (low) and stirring the sauce for a bit, I plated the salmon and spooned on the sauce.

Of course, we added a bit of sauce on the side, too. It was delicious – creamy, herby, and a little bit cool. Would definitely make this sauce again, especially if I am trying to impress some dinner guests.

• Crowd: 4/5
• Ease: 3/5
• Used Fage 2% plain greek yogurt, but I think any yogurt would work here
