Sheet-pan meals are my go-to weeknight dinners. One that is regularly in my rotation is oven-roasted salmon. My favorite way to prepare it? I simply spread some Dijon mustard over the top before popping it in the oven.

Last summer, I spotted a jar of Edmond Fallot’s Tarragon Dijon Mustard at a market in Montreal. I snagged one for the road, and my sheet-pan salmon hasn’t been the same since. Now, it’s the condiment I reach for every time I make the rich fish.

What’s So Great About Edmond Fallot’s Tarragon Dijon Mustard?
On the lid of Edmond Fallot’s Tarragon Dijon Mustard jar, it says “France ~ 1840.” That made me curious, so I looked into it. Turns out the family-owned brand, which was founded nearly 200 years ago in Burgundy, France, is still operating out of the region, running the only remaining independent mustard mill in the area.
Of course, I knew none of that when this jar originally caught my eye. I was drawn to its striking green color. The tarragon is a big part of what makes this Dijon so delicious. It’s bright and herbaceous, with a very subtle licorice note. The mustard otherwise is sharply tangy and quite salty (I wouldn’t eat it off a spoon, but I don’t know anyone who does that anyway).

Unfortunately, I hadn’t been able to find this mustard in my local grocery stores after I finished my first jar. Naturally, I took to the internet. I picked up two jars for just shy of $18.

What’s the Best Way to Enjoy Edmond Fallot’s Tarragon Dijon Mustard?
It’s so simple: I lay my salmon fillets on a sheet pan (I usually line mine with aluminum foil with a little cooking spray) and slather about a tablespoon or two of the tarragon Dijon mustard on top, making sure to coat the sides as well. Then, I pop it in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes apart.

The bright, tangy flavor of this mustard cuts through the fatty fish so nicely. It takes a standard weeknight meal and elevates it to an impressive date-night dish or something that can (and does!) wow friends.
