Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs salmon fillets (4 pieces)
    salt & freshly ground black pepper
    Sauce
    1 cup pilsner beer or 1 cup lager beer
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    1/2 cup sliced onion
    1/2 teaspoon cracked peppercorn
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1/2 cup whipping cream
    Garnish
    2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 225\u00b0F (100\u00b0C).
    Season salmon with salt and pepper and place in an ovenproof baking dish.
    Combine beer, tarragon, lemon juice, onion, peppercorns and olive oil in a pot. Bring to boil and reduce by half. Pour over salmon.
    Bake for 20 minutes, basting once, or until salmon is cooked but still slightly pink in centre.
