Tips
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: For the best flavor, use fresh dill instead of dried. The vibrant taste of fresh herbs will make your sauce truly shine.
- Adjust the Tang: If you prefer a tangier sauce, feel free to add an extra splash of lemon juice. It brightens up the dish and balances the creaminess.
- Mix It Up: Experiment with additional flavors! A dash of Dijon mustard or a sprinkle of capers can add an exciting twist to your creamy dill sauce.
- Chill for Flavor: Although you can serve the sauce immediately, refrigerating it for about 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
- Perfect Pairing: This sauce isn’t just for salmon and trout. Try it with grilled chicken or as a dip for fresh vegetables for a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire.
