This creamy dill sauce is the perfect condiment to serve alongside your favorite seafood. It uses simple ingredients and there’s no cooking involved. It calls for ready-made refrigerator ingredients that you mix with fresh dill and a few spices.
The sauce is impressive yet so simple to make. It’s light, creamy, and packed with dill and citrus flavor. We love to serve it over grilled salmon but it works with any seafood.

- Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Tips For Success
- Choose your favorite brand of mayonnaise. Avoid miracle whip! It has a different flavor and doesn’t make a great base for this sauce.
- Use fresh dill! Avoid using dried dill if at all possible. Fresh dill will yield a better-tasting sauce.
- Fresh lemon juice will make all the difference as well. While bottled can be used, fresh is going to taste the best.
