I originally made this sauce to go with my Baked Parmesan Crusted Salmon, which by the way is super yummy!

Why you’ll love this Recipe

  • It only takes 5 minutes to make.
  • There are only 4 simple ingredients.
  • This creamy dill sauce is loaded with flavor.
  • It’s so versatile, you can pair it with most seafood, poultry or veggies!

Ingredients

  1. Mayonnaise – This creates the creamy base.
  2. Dijon Mustard – Which gives it a bit of a tangy flavor.
  3. Fresh Dill Weed – Creates a bit of sweetness that pairs well with the lemon and other ingredients.
  4. 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.

Don’t like Dijon? Leave it out. Or feel free to add some minced Garlic. There’s plenty of room to play around with this recipe and make it your own!

      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.

    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!
