This creamy dill sauce is perfect for salmon, and it takes only 5 minutes to make. Rich and bright flavors are thanks to the lemon juice and fresh dill. It’s perfect on salmon, salmon patties, or with other poultry or seafood.

We do not know about you, but we are huge fans of savory and creamy. This easy peasy CREAMY dill sauce fits that description perfectly. With minimal effort, this dill sauce is sure to knock you off your feet (not literally) on these hot summer days.

To get started, all you need are a few ingredients, small mixing bowl, and a mixing device (whatever you prefer…) to combine the ingredients. That’s it! Have fun!

How To Make It

Chef’s Tips

  • If you are running low on sour cream, you can substitute with plain greek yogurt. We recommend full-fat for the best taste (And it’s good for you!).
  • You can adjust the lemon juice according to your palate
  • Pairs perfectly with our air fryer salmon or easy salmon patties
