Ingredients

- Fresh Lemon Juice – Has a bit of a sour taste, but when combined with all the other ingredients, it really ties the flavors together.
How to make this Dill Sauce for Salmon
It’s quite simple, just grab a small bowl and mix together 2 Tbs of Mayo, 1 Tbs of Dijon Mustard, 1/2 tsp Dill Weed and 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice. That’s it!
Variation
You could do a half in half mixture with Mayo and Sour Cream, but honestly I think Mayo by itself gives it more of a creamy texture.

Can I put this on salmon and bake it together?
I have never tried baking it this way. If you try it let me know how it is! 🙂
Thank you for the the super yummy and very quick sauce. I really enjoyed it.
Great to hear Crystal! 🙂
Delicious recipe! We love our salmon grilled on cedar planks and I’ve been looking for a dipping sauce to compliment. I’ve tried many but this hit the mark!! Excellent and very easy to make! I will serve this at our annual fish dinner when the family comes to town! Thank you!
I haven’t tried this with Salmon yet, thanks for the suggestion! Glad you liked it:)
How long does the dip stay good in the refrigerator
It’ll have the best flavor if used within a week. It can be stored longer depending on the expiration date of the mayo you are using.
OMG, I do almost exactly the same thing, but more lemon, dash garlic powder, dash onion powder, dash sea salt, dash cracked pepper.
Oh, and a single drop of liquid stevia.
Thanks glad you like it! 🙂
