We are inspired by a Sara's Secrets show to create a mustardy dill sauce for salmon. The sauce is creamy, sharp, and fresh, a perfect complement to fish, poultry, or a green vegetable like asparagus. Originally served as part of Grilled Salmon with a Simple Dill Sauce.

Servings & Time

  • Serves: 6
  • Prep Time: 15 min

Tools & Appliances

  • Prep Bowl
  • Cutting Board
  • Microwave

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons refrigerated Brita water
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 1½ teaspoons superfine sugar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill (cleaned, stemmed, and chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

We start by measuring our cream into a 1-cup glass measuring cup. We have the cold water in a small prep bowl. We microwave the water for 15 seconds to heat, and while whisking with a fork, add it to the cream. This brings the cream to room temperature. We add the mustard (which was taken from an unopened jar), the sugar, and the oil, and stir well. Finally we add the dill and the lemon juice. We have just under 1-cup of sauce. We taste for seasoning - it is yummy - and set aside for a few minutes while we cook the fish. We serve out of the measuring cup and refrigerate the rest covered with saran wrap for a couple of days.
