Method
How to make it
Pat the salmon dry and season well with salt, pepper, and a little of the spice mix.
Heat the butter in a dutch oven over medium-high and crisp the salmon until deeply colored.
Add the aromatics with the pearl onions and fingerling potatoes; cook until fragrant and just tender.
Build the tarragon butter sauce in the pan and simmer until it clings to everything.
Fold it back together, taste for salt, and finish with the fresh herbs.
Serve hot over buttered potatoes.
