Notes
Feel free to sub dried tarragon for fresh tarragon. Start with 2 Tbsp. dried tarragon and add more if desired.
You can thin the sauce out by adding more lemon juice or water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
If you prefer more sweetness you can use honey mustard and if you like more spice you can use a spicy mustard or horseradish mustard.
