LEMON-DILL SAUCE FOR FISH
This is a nice change from tartar sauce, it's great to serve along side of fish, plan ahead this needs to chill for 2 hours or up to 24 hours before serving. One teaspoon or a small clove of fresh garlic is all that is needed or it will overpower the sauce, the flavours of this sauce will increase with chilling time, please adjust the dill to suit taste. Cooking time is chilling time.

SALMON WITH LEMON DILL SAUCE
This simple salmon recipe is easy to prepare yet it's bursting with so much flavor. Fresh and tangy, the lemon dill sauce adds so much zing to the dish. Once cooked, the salmon is warm and flaky. After trying, you'll find yourself making this salmon again and again.

Steps:
- 1. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to your pan. I love using cast iron for this dish. It can go from stove top to oven. Bring it up to heat.
- 2. When the pan is heated lay the fish skin side down. The salt and pepper will create the crispiness on the skin. When you see the flesh becoming opaque and you see the skin curling on the sides it's time to turn it.
- 3. Cook other side to your liking. Remember if you like your salmon medium rare, remove when the middle is just about warmed through the residual heat will cook it to perfection.
- 4. Add the butter, the juice of the one lemon, and minced the dill. Heat it through then spoon over the fish. Thinly slice the remaining lemon. You can lay on the side this gives it a wonderful aroma. This can be served with some creamy warm Colcannon. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Pat dry the orange roughy fillet, season it lightly with salt and pepper and dredge it in the flour.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the orange roughy on both sides until lightly golden.
- Transfer the fish in a baking dish over parchment paper and bake it in a preheated oven at high temperature for another 7-8 minutes.
- While the orange roughy fillet is baking, combine the heavy cream, dill, lemon juice and little black pepper in a small pan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the lemon dill sauce slightly and pour it over the ready fish.
Tips for Making the Best Lemon Dill Sauce:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh lemon juice and dill will give your sauce the best flavor. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but use less of it, as it has a more concentrated flavor.
- Don't overcook the sauce. Overcooking will make the sauce too thick and gluey. Simmer the sauce gently over low heat until it has reached the desired consistency.
- Taste the sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more lemon juice, dill, salt, or pepper to get the perfect flavor.
- Serve the sauce immediately. Lemon dill sauce is best served fresh. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the flavor will be best if you use it right away.
Conclusion:
Lemon dill sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. It is perfect for grilled or roasted fish, chicken, or vegetables. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for shrimp or crab. With its bright, tangy flavor, lemon dill sauce is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add flavor to your meal, give lemon dill sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
