Chef John's Salmon Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Salmon Recipes. (Chef John's Salmon Recipe). I love the combination of tarragon and Italian parsley, but I've used herbs like basil and thyme, which worked wonderfully as well. As far as the fish goes, a center-cut salmon filet is a perfect thickness for this, but other similarly shaped seafood will work.
