Baked Salmon with Dill Sauce
Who doesn’t like a 30 minute or less meal? Of course we all do! With our crazy busy schedules, many nights it can be a challenge when it comes to preparing dinner. I have a wide variety of delicious recipes like my Zucchini Pork Penne, Orzo with Chicken & Asiago, Chipotle Chicken Tortilla Pizza, Prawn Saganaki, and many more including a bunch of salads and sandwiches.
One protein that is usually pretty quick to make is fish. I’m thinking of Mediterranean Fish Fillet with Tapenade, Pacific Coast Salmon on the BBQ, Panko Breaded Fish Fillet, Grilled Fish Tacos, Red Snapper en Papillote, Sole Almondine or Meunière, Tarragon Limoncello Halibut, Filet-O-Fish Sandwich, etc. as well as this featured one… Baked Salmon with Dill Sauce!
This recipe is just fabulous! I season the fillet with lemon pepper and salt then transfer it to the oven for 15 minutes although it can also be grilled on the BBQ. While it’s baking, I make the sauce… see, that’s how fast it is. It’s a nice recipe to enjoy when time is in short supply or when we just feel lazy and don’t want to spend too much time prepping and cooking.
Of course, what really makes this dish is the sauce. I use a few ingredients including Miracle Whip. I’m always surprised when people lift their noses to this particular ingredient. Yes, mayo is good, but Miracle Whip adds some extra zip to the recipe. Can you make it and substitute mayo? Sure but don’t blame me when your Baked Salmon with Dill Sauce still needs more oomph…
Flaky, light and so flavorful, this is the perfect quick recipe to make. I like to serve my Baked Salmon with Dill Sauce along with Herb & Butter Rice, some steamed vegetables and a few lemon wedges… yummy!
Bon Appétit!
