Per-ingredient cost is the amount this recipe uses at the lowest Canadian price we have on file; the per-serving total above adds the range up to the dearest price and for buying whole packages. A line marked not counted is one we couldn't measure from the amount as written — it is missing from the total, not free.

Method

1. Thaw fish, if frozen.
2. For sauce, in a small bowl combine mayonnaise or salad dressing, green onions, lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons fresh tarragon. Cover and chill.
3. Tear heavy foil slightly longer than salmon. Cut several slits in foil. Spray foil with nonstick coating. Place salmon, skin side down, on foil. Stir together softened margarine or butter and 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon. Spread butter mixture over salmon. Measure thickness of salmon.
4. Arrange preheated coals around a drip pan in a covered grill. Test for medium heat above pan. Place foil with salmon on grill over drip pan. Cover and grill for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness or just until fish begins to flake easily when tested with a fork. Serve with sauce. If desired, garnish with lemon slices and tarragon sprigs. Makes 6 servings.
