Method

  1. Wash the salmon steaks to make sure that there aren't any scales, and pat dry on absorbent kitchen paper. Brush each side of the salmon fillets with lemon juice and then olive oil. Season each side of the fish generously with the black pepper and sprinkle lightly with salt. Cook the fish on a medium heat for 12-15 mins, turning it occasionally during cooking, so that it cooks evenly.
  2. To make the mayonnaise: Mix all the ingredients together and keep it chilled until serving.
  3. Serve the fish with a spoonful of mayonnaise on top, and garnish with a sprig of tarragon. (Not suitable for freezing).
