There's something classic about a meal of salmon with dill sauce. It's a quintessential combination, whether you're enjoying a delicate fillet like king salmon or coho salmon, or looking for the perfect condiment to balance the robust flavor of sockeye salmon.
Integrating dill into a creamy mayo-based sauce for salmon is an easy way to create somthing elegant out of a simple list in ingredients — and it takes just 2 minutes to make. A dash of prepared horseradish punches up the condiment with subtle heat, but you can omit horseradish if you prefer. Either way, the sauce pairs nicely with a range of vegetables — potatoes, broccoli, carrots, asparagus. This easy versatility can inspire a variety of sheet pan meals throughout the week.
Any leftover dill sauce can be saved in a covered container and refrigerated for up to a week. For more ideas, explore a variety of sauces for salmon on the blog.
