There's nothing like fresh salmon, and my mom bakes it just right so it nearly melts in your mouth. The sour cream sauce is subtly seasoned with dill and horseradish so that it doesn't overpower the delicate salmon flavor. -Susan Emery Everett, Washington

I made this last night for a birthday dinner. It was absolutely delicious! Salmon is a favorite of mine and this just melted in my mouth and I loved the combined flavors. I thought it was better than what you could have gotten in a restaurant. I will definitely be making this again. Side Note: My side dishes were steamed asparagus and tri-colored potatoes

This was so easy and so good! I used limes instead of lemons and the fish and sauce was just wonderful.

The fish was moist and delicious. My husband didn't like the onions on it, but I did! I didn't make the dill sauce, but it sounds awesome. The salmon was still great without it.

This is a dish I have made again and again. My Dad loves it and uses left over sauce on other foods. The sauce, in my opinion, does not taste good on its own, but is absolutely delicious on the fish. I have to continue to give it a SIX star rating on this 1 to 5 scale. :-)

This was very good, but why does my kitchen always fill with smoke when I broil things? Am I supposed to leave the oven door shut? The food was not burning or anything, but I think next time I will broil it for less time because I don't like it when the smoke alarm goes off and I have to open the doors in spite of it being winter :)

We have fresh dill in our garden, so I was looking for a recipe to use it in. This was great. I used more dill than the recipe calls for.

I've been looking for a good salmon and dill recipe for quite a while and this is it. The fist is moist and delicious since it's steamed in a foil pouch. The sauce is just right! A keeper.
