Category: Seafood and Fish - Grilled

1/4 cup lemon juice and olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3/4 tsp salt, divided
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 lb fresh 1 inch thick salmon fillet
2/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup minced green onions
1 tsp dried tarragon leaves

Combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in shallow, nonreactive 11X7 inch baking dish. Mix well. Add salmon; turn twice to coat with marinade. With salmon skin-side up in baking dish, cover tightly; refrigerate 2 hours.

Combine sour cream, milk, green onions, tarragon and remaining 1/4 tsp salt in small bowl; mix well. Cover; refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cut salmon into 4 pieces. Preheat grill or broiler. If grilling, cook over medium-hot coals 5 minutes per side or until fish begins to flake when tested with fork.

If broiling, place skin side down on broiling pan. Cook 6 inches from heat 8 to 10 minutes or until fish just begins to flake when tested with fork.

Serve hot with chilled sauce over each piece. Serves 4
