    This dish was really fantastic. It was light, fresh & bursting with flavour. I will definitely make it again. Just one question, however. What, on earth was I meant to do with the tarragon that I paid £1 for????!!!! (Absolutely no mention of it in the recipe instuctions!) Tastes really delicious though, so worth trying.

    This is a fantastic recipe full of punchy flavours. I have tried the sauce with cod and it's also great with sea bass. You don't need a food processor a hand blender will suffice. Add some baby new potatoes fried in olive oil on the side.
