Tarragon Chive Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Pat salmon dry and with a sharp knife cut into roughly 1/3-inch cubes. In a medium bowl lightly beat egg and gently stir in salmon and remaining ingredients until just combined.
• Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat and, working in batches, drop 2-tablespoon measures of salmon mixture about 1 inch apart into skillet. Cook cakes until undersides are golden, about 1 minute. Turn cakes over and cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer cakes as cooked to a platter. Salmon cakes may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring cakes to room temperature before serving.
• Garnish cakes with lime wedges and serve with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Crush garlic and salt together in a mortar with a pestle; add tarragon and continue crushing with the pestle until tarragon is pulverized.
• Stir mayonnaise and lemon juice into garlic-tarragon mixture until aioli is smooth; season with cayenne pepper.

Steps:

• In a food processor pulse together mayonnaise, tarragon, and 1/3 cup sour cream until smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in remaining cup sour cream, chives, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Garnish dip with chives.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 450°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix first 7 ingredients in medium bowl. Season mustard sauce lightly with salt and generously with pepper. Place salmon, skin side down, on diagonal on prepared sheet. Spoon 1/2 cup mustard sauce atop salmon, then spread over, covering completely. Sprinkle salmon generously with salt and pepper. Roast just until salmon is opaque in center, about 15 minutes. Using parchment as aid, transfer salmon to platter. Cut crosswise into pieces and serve with remaining mustard sauce.
