Tips & Warnings

• This is also a good marinade to use for fish, since tarragon takes the "fishy" flavor away. Just pour over 3-4 fresh fish filets such as cod, tilapia or sole in a baking dish, dot with butter, and bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 25 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with fork
• Discard any unused dressing after 4-5 days.
