For enhanced flavor, marinate the salmon fillets in olive oil, lemon zest, and garlic for 30 minutes before grilling. If you don’t have fresh tarragon, 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon can be substituted. Adjust the amount of lemon juice and garlic in the sauce to suit your personal taste preferences. To prevent sticking, ensure the grill is very hot and the grates are well-oiled before placing the salmon on the grill. The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.
