Dilly Salmon ๐
This is my favorite salmon recipe of all time and I’ve made quite a few salmon recipes throughout my years. I call this my Dilly Salmon recipe! The sauce consists of four simple ingredients, pouring it over your salmon. The result, is the most unbelievably delicious salmon you’ll ever eat! When my children were little my youngest never wanted to eat seafood and especially not salmon, but miraculously when I made dilly salmon they never left a morsel on the plate!
WAIT! As you know I’m actively using my lemon juicer in majority of my recipes. But, if you’re wondering how you squeeze lemons without a lemon juicer, here’s a little trick I use:
1. Cut the lemon in half.
2. Stick a fork into the center.
3. Squeeze the lemon while twisting the fork back and forth.
In my measuring cup I added mayo, lemon juice, grated pecorino romano, fresh chopped dill, ยฝ tsp salt, and ยฝ tsp cracked black pepper. But Hey,
Feel free to adjust to your liking; If you’re a big fan of lemon juice you can double it, love that cheesy flavor.. you can double it. Want more Dill Flavor? You guessed it, Double it.
I know your eye goggling the baking dish set I have, But don’t worry I won’t hide it from you it’s the ONECCI Rectangular Ceramic Casserole Baking Dish Set.

Tips for Success
โข Pat your salmon dry first. This helps it cook evenly and keeps the texture nice and tender.
โข Use fresh dill if you can. It really makes the flavor pop and gives the dish that classic dilly taste.
โข Taste your sauce. Everyone likes a different balance of lemon, salt, and dill, so adjust it to what you love.
๐ค Common Questions
A: This is absolutely reasonable. One problem a lot of home cooks have is not realizing how fast salmon can cook. The key is to always time your salmon depending on the recipe, and a little trick is checking if your salmon is slightly soft in the center. It’s a clear indicator that your salmon is ready to be feasted upon.
A: I served mine with broccoli, but you can also serve it with rice, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, veggies, or a side salad! But who’s stopping you from serving it with some ice cream, not me and I’m not watching.

Hi! Do you think thereโs enough sauce to flake the salmon and mix over pasta (especially if adding a little pasta water)?
Yes! But Iโm not sure how it would be! You have to let me know.. I think rice would be better ๐
