Preparation:

Step 1
• Mix the salt with the flour, add the eggs, and stir until a thick paste forms. Then slowly pour in the milk, stirring to prevent lumps. Add the melted butter and let sit for 1 hour.
Step 2
• Heat a non-stick frying pan and grease it with melted butter, pour in the batter so that it covers the bottom of the pan and cook over medium heat until golden brown, 1-3 minutes, turn over and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
• Bring wine to a boil with salt, pepper, tarragon stems, and a little butter. Add the salmon and simmer until it begins to fall apart and a white foam forms on the surface. Remove the fish and shred it. Add fresh tomatoes or prepared tomato sauce to the broth and reduce until thick and runny. Finally, add chopped tarragon. Return the fish to the sauce, fill the crepes with a small amount of filling, and roll them up. Place each crepe on a separate plate and top with 2-3 tablespoons of the remaining filling. Garnish with chopped hard-boiled eggs.
