Horseradish & Tarragon Roasted Salmon & Yukon Gold Potatoes
This recipe is one of my favorite flavor combinations that balances each of the bold ingredients included to yield a perfectly rounded flavor that is far from overwhelming, it’s harmonious actually. Roasting is also one of my favorite ways to cook, preparing all the ingredients at the beginning, then popping it in the oven and let the oven do the rest of the work. I also enjoy keeping raw horseradish and freshly dried tarragon on hand all the time, as this recipe can be used on any type of meat or even...
