Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce
Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce is a classic salmon recipe. Salmon and dill go together so well. Using our Lemon Pepper Seasoning adds an extra zesty flavor while cooking. The onion just adds….well….even more flavor. Very irresistible. The Dill Sauce served as a topping is a great alternative to cooking the salmon with the dill or using traditional tartar sauce. By cooking in the foil packet helps to keep the salmon moist as it cooks so it doesn’t dry out.
