8-10
ingredients
- 2⁄3 cup mayonnaise
- 1⁄2 cup spicy brown mustard
- 6 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
- 6 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon peel, finely grated
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 3 1⁄2 - 3 3⁄4 lbs salmon, with skin about 1 1/2 inches thick
directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and arrange rack in the center of the oven; line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, tarragon, chives, sugar, lemon juice and lemon peel (everything but the salmon); season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place salmon, skin side down, diagonally across the baking sheet; spoon 1/2 cup of the mustard sauce over top and spread so that it covers the salmon completely.

- Use the parchment paper to help you transfer the salmon to a serving platter; cut crosswise into serving pieces, and serve with remaining mustard sauce.

<p>We may live without poetry, music and art;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
