The salmon and sauce had a nice soft flavor, but I wasn't wowed by the sauce. I used leftover champagne instead of fresh, which could make a big difference.

Yummy! This salmon recipe was so simple to make, and the presentation was truly beautiful with the shallots and tarragon mixed into the champagne sauce. I especially loved how the sour cream and mustard really balanced the sweetness of the champagne. I made this with fat free sour cream (which reduces the saturated fat to 1g/serving), and it still came out great! There was plenty of sauce for the 2 salmon fillets. This will be added as one of my favorite salmon recipes! Thanks to my PAC Spring '07 baby Caroline for the delicious recipes!
