Dill Sauce
This creamy dill sauce for salmon is a healthy variation of classic recipes made with mayonnaise or heavy cream. Made with Greek yogurt. It is light yet luxurious and pairs beautifully with salmon, shrimp, and other seafood. Best of all, you can stir it together in minutes! Mersedeh Prewer shared this recipe with her salmon, and I am in love!
