1 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves or 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves

  1. Combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in shallow, nonreactive 11X7-inch baking dish. Mix well. Add salmon; turn twice to coat with marinade. With salmon skin-side up in baking dish, cover tightly; refrigerate 2 hours.
