Creamy Dill Sauce for Salmon

Creamy dill sauce complements so many other types of meat and even vegetables. It plays well with the charred flavor of grilled seafood recipes. Because potato salad recipes often feature a thick, creamy dressing that looks and tastes a lot like this sauce, it would be a natural replacement, especially if you have leftover dill sauce in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 3/4 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 salmon fillet (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
  • 6 lemon slices
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed

Instruction

  1. Line a 15x10x1-in. baking pan with heavy-duty foil; grease lightly. Place salmon skin side down on foil. Sprinkle with lemon pepper and onion salt. Top with onion and lemon. Dot with butter. Fold foil around salmon; seal tightly,
  2. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Open foil carefully, allowing steam to escape. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 3-5 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients until smooth. Serve with salmon.
