Quick tilapia with tarragon recipe
Tarragon is one of the four fines herbes of French cooking (the other ones being parsley, chives and chervil) and it gives this tilapia dish delicious taste and character. Tarragon is a perennial herb related to wormwood and it is commonly known as dragon herb or dragon's worth. There are two main types of tarragon: French tarragon and Russian tarragon. Russian tarragon is not as aromatic and flavoursome as the French variety, but it requires much less pampering in the herb garden and will thrive in dry and poor soil.
