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

Reviews
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.
Great recipe! My husband and I made this for valentines day dinner, it went absolutely beautifully. We added the dill sauce prior to broil... it really added a wonderful touch
Loved this dill sauce!!! Very easy too!!!
This was great! I didn’t have horseradish so I substituted fresh grated ginger. Next time I’ll remive the onion and lemon slices before broiling. They got charred, but the lemon protected the salmon from drying out after 10 minutes cooking time.
YUM!!! I cut the toppings for the salmon into 1/4 since we were only doing 1 small piece of salmon - worked out perfectly. Only need 1 lemon - half for the slices on top, the other half I juiced for the lemon juice in the sauce. I only cut the sauce in half because I wanted to make sure we got enough. I probably would have been fine cutting it in 1/4, but I don't mind the leftover! We both completely devoured this. The salmon was good on its own but the sauce made it DELICIOUS. Well definitely be making this again!!! (For the smaller piece of salmon I cooked it for 15 minutes, then under the broiler for about 4-5 minutes and it was just a tad overdone - will lower the time next time).Update: I made this again but used lime slices and lime juice. While it was still yummy, I think the lemon was definitely better. Still a great recipe and will use it again.
