Basil gets all the pesto love, cilantro all the soapy concerns, parsley's in everything, but everyone's sleeping on tarragon, the herb that sounds like it's on a geometry quiz. Tarragon's power and deliciousness are showcased in this lovely crema, with lemon bringing the citrus. The salmon and the crema go together hand-in-hand, making for an all-star outing for hexagon… we mean, tarragon.
