I loved this recipe with the lemon dill sauce. Instead of dried dill, we used fresh dill from the garden. It was so tasty we doubled the recipe!
I’m so happy to hear this, Peter! I bet the fresh dill was an amazing addition!
It was so tender and flaky, a lovely texture to our fish. Everyone enjoyed their dinner tonight. I will be making it next week too
I love hearing that, Jan! Thank you for stopping by.
This is such a great way to spice up a typical baked salmon dish, great flavors and texture.
Thank you for your review, Julia! I appreciate you taking the time to do so.
Enjoyed your lemon dill sauce. I will have to make it again for our dinner with friends so they could try.
I hope they love it just as much as you did!
The lemon dill sauce is a delicious alternative to tarter sauce, and sure brings out the flavor in the salmon. Great recipe!
Thank you so much, Melinda! I’m happy to hear you loved it.
Such a refreshing recipe and perfect for easy cooking nights on warm summer days!
