For best results, use fresh tarragon. Dried tarragon can be substituted, but use only 1/2 teaspoon. Cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. Check the fish for doneness after the first 2 minutes and adjust cooking time accordingly. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after microwaving brightens the flavor even more. Serve with a side of steamed asparagus or a simple salad for a complete meal.

Nov 18, 2024My kids even liked it! I used lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar because that's what I had on hand, and it was still great.
