Ingredients
  

Green Goddess Sauce
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley
  • 1 tbsp dried chives
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions typically 3-4 green onions
  • 1 tsp dried tarragon
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp anchovy paste (optional)
Salmon
  • 1 1/2 pound salmon single or individual fillets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • kosher salt & fresh ground pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place a rack in the center of the oven.
  2. In a small bowl, combine mayo, sour cream, parsley, chives, green onions, tarragon, vinegar, lemon juice and anchovy paste (if using). Stir until well combined, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Brush salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Place on a baking sheet, skin side down, and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Serve with Green Goddess sauce spooned over the fillets or on the side if you prefer. Refrigerate any leftover sauce (tastes great with veggies too!). Enjoy!
