Creamy Dill Sauce for Salmon
This creamy dill sauce for salmon is made with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, fresh dill, and garlic. It comes together in 5 minutes and pairs well with baked, grilled, or pan-seared salmon.
Ingredients
- 240 g Greek yogurt
- 30 g mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 6 g fresh dill finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add 1 cup (240 g) Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons (30 g) mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper to a small bowl.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons (6 g) finely chopped fresh dill and 1 small clove of finely grated garlic.
- Whisk everything together until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Taste the sauce and adjust with a little extra lemon juice, salt, or dill if needed.
- Serve immediately with baked, grilled, or pan-seared salmon.
Notes
Use Thick Greek Yogurt: I like using full-fat Greek yogurt because it makes the sauce extra creamy and prevents it from becoming watery.
Finely Chop the Dill: Cutting the dill very finely helps the herb distribute evenly so every spoonful has fresh flavor.
Let It Rest Briefly: If I have a few extra minutes, I let the sauce sit for about 10 minutes before serving so the garlic and dill blend nicely with the yogurt.
