Roasted Salmon

I got this from epicurious (it is from Gourmet magazine Jan 2002). Super simple and delicious. It is best with fresh tarragon and chives, however I have also used dried and it tasted fine. The secret is not to overcook the salmon!

1 (5-oz) piece salmon fillet with skin
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for drizzling
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/2 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves (optional)


Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°F.

Rub salmon all over with 1 teaspoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast, skin side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet in upper third of oven until fish is just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Cut salmon in half crosswise, then lift flesh from skin with a metal spatula and transfer to a plate. Discard skin, then drizzle salmon with oil and sprinkle with herbs.
