What do you get when you combine rich butter, yummy mayonnaise, tart lemon, and herbaceous tarragon? Why, you've got the child of the mother sauce Hollandaise, the luxurious Béarnaise. Ours may not be as fancy as the French would make, but it dresses up the salmon in amazing flavor and texture. What do you get when you order this meal? A fantastic dinner.
