1. Put the lemon zest and juice, garlic, tarragon and olive oil in a shallow, non-metallic dish and stir together. Season with salt and pepper, then add the salmon fillets. Turn them to coat in the mixture, rubbing it in to the fish well. Cover and set aside for 10 mins.
2. Remove the salmon from the marinade and wrap in foil, if barbecuing. Cook for 5-8 mins over hot coals until just cooked through. (Alternatively, heat the grill to high and put the salmon fillets on a baking sheet. Grill for 7-10 mins, until just cooked through.) Serve with a couscous and rocket salad.

'I love fish and I am always looking for new ways to cook it. This dish was really zesty and had a fresh flavour. I often find salmon a bit bland, but this recipe pepped it up well.'

  Great dish for something so easy to make, really good for mid-week dinner. Served with lemon & garlic cous cous with went really nicely with it. Definitely recommend.

  Simple and delicious, I replaced the tarragon with a generous amount of parsley and coriander because that's what I had in the bottom of the fridge and even the OH enjoyed it and he's not fond of salmon.
