Directions

1. Watch how to make this recipe.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
3. Blend the tarragon with bread crumbs, salt and pepper, to taste, in a food processor, pulsing in the dill last.
4. Remove and stir in just enough melted butter to create the consistency of wet sand.
5. Pat the salmon dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper, to taste.
