dill has a new friend

Salmon is a go to dinner for The Hubby and I. We always have some in the freezer. Quick tip, we buy in bulk on sale and cut into serving size portions. It is quick to thaw and quick to fix, my kind of weeknight dinner.

A fan or not….

Dill is one of those herbs that people love or hate it seems. Me I am a big fan, The Hubby thinks he is not…well that is until now. Now I completely understand that there be some out there who are not big fans of this little herb. It can be very overpowering, but it doesn’t have to be.

This salmon made The Hubby a dill fan, and trust me if I can turn The Hubby into a fan you can become one as well.

Dilly, Dill, Dill…

To really bring the freshness of dill out I used it both in the marinade for the salmon and in the sauce. So why both, you ask?

First lets talk about the marinade. I love to marinade salmon. It is the perfect fish to soak up all the yummy from a marinade. The beauty of this marinade is that it is only a few simple ingredients but it packs a ton of flavor. The lemon with the dill and other spices really works to make this perfect for salmon, or even chicken.

Now lets talk about the sauce. Oh this sauce. I could literally eat this sauce with a spoon and nothing else…I love it that much. It is rich, creamy and loaded with flavor. The capers add a perfect little salty hit and the sour cream and yogurt add a little tang, the dill brings freshness and the lemon some brightness. It really is a perfectly balanced sauce that is perfect for salmon, flounder, chicken…heck even chips. Yes I ate the leftover sauce with chips, and I am proud of it.

Bring on the salmon

I made this for a quick weeknight dinner for The Hubby and I, but once I saw how pretty it turned out I decided this needed to be made for a dinner party ASAP. It is so pretty and looks so fancy, but it is so easy to make it is perfect to impress your friends and family. LOVE dishes like that!!
