Salmon With Dill Cream Cheese Sauce

Salmon with Dill Cream Cheese Sauce

This "salmon with dill cream cheese sauce" is packed full of dill flavor and super easy to make. Topped with a smooth and creamy, cream cheese dill sauce, it makes salmon taste like a guilty pleasure and not a healthy piece of fish. A few years ago I randomly created this flavor combination and it has become one of our favorites. My oldest daughter really loves salmon and likely loves the cream cheese dill sauce even more. Everything is made better by a good sauce in my opinion. I would wager that this might even turn some salmon haters into lovers. Only one way to find out.

Ingredients:

For the fish:

2 salmon fillets

3 to 4 tbsp dried dill

Sprinkling of salt and pepper

4 tbsp butter

For the sauce:

1/4 cup cream cheese

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tbsp butter

Pinch of salt and pepper

2 tbsp dried dill ( can also use dill and lemon mix)

1 tsp lemon juice
