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

I got this recipe from A Taste of Home magazine over 20 years ago. I had five children back then and this was and still is their favorite salmon recipe ever. All of my kid's friends would ask to come over if they found out I was making salmon. This is still my most requested recipe and whenever we have a dinner party my friends say " Will you please make your salmon?" . It has the consistency of a delicately poached fish and it will never dry out . The seasonings are just enough to let the fish shine and you can tweak the ingredients in the sauce to your liking, One of my coworkers didn't want to eat this, devoured the dish and then asked if she could take the leftover sauce home. It is a homerun and so easy!
This is a delicious recipe. My husband isn't a fan of any fish, but I try to serve some type of fish at least once a week. Even he liked it. The dill sauce was so good, I used some of that as a dressing on my tossed salad. Served it with rosemary roasted potato wedges that I cooked on the same baking sheet. I wonderful meal with very little cleanup. Thank you!
This came out beautiful and perfect, thank you very much!
I rate 5 stars in case it doesn't show. After reading both positive and negative reviews here is mine. IF your Salmon is thick (2") or more it will take the 20 minutes or more to cook then broil. The seasoning was great not over powering just right I even added some garlic powder. Made Dill Sauce exactly as written and it was delicious. I will definitely make again.
I don’t personally like salmon but my children do and they really liked this recipe. The dill sauce was their favorite. I have since then made this several times with other fish and the sauce is a family favorite now. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
Gotta say...We eat a lot of Salmon both at home and in restaurants. So, we critique in the extreme. In addition, I am always in search of a stellar dill sauce. So here it is; the salmon is exceptional and the dill sauce is just exactly the way i like it.
The salmon was ecellent the sauce tho was devine
How many servings does this make?
Good salmon recipe!
Salmon was good. Really did not need to broil as the salmon was done in the 20 minutes of initial baking. We enjoyed the sauce but even 1/2 the recipe was too much. Next time I would cut to 1/4.
