Ingredients

▢ 240 g plain full-fat Greek yogurt
▢ 30 g full-fat mayonnaise
▢ 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
▢ 6 g fresh dill finely chopped
▢ 1 small garlic clove finely grated
▢ 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
▢ ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
▢ ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Add 240 g plain full-fat Greek yogurt, 30 g full-fat mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper to a small bowl. Stir in 6 g fresh dill, finely chopped, and 1 small garlic clove, finely grated.
Whisk until the creamy dill sauce is smooth, thick, and spoonable. Taste and adjust with a little additional lemon juice, kosher salt, or dill if needed, then serve immediately with salmon.

Notes

Keep it thick: Plain full-fat Greek yogurt gives the sauce its thick, spoonable consistency. A thinner yogurt will produce a looser sauce.

Distribute the garlic: Finely grating the garlic helps it blend evenly without leaving large raw pieces.

Resting is optional: Serve immediately, rest for 10 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes for a more blended flavor. The listed total time reflects the five minutes needed to prepare the sauce.
