Lemon Dill Salmon

Wednesday, June 15, 2011
This is a simple grilled or baked Salmon with just a few ingredients added and absolutely melt in your mouth tender and delicious.


Lemon, dill, butter, wine in a creamy sauce goes over the top of salmon for a complete gourmet easy dish.


During the summer we usually grill it but during the cooler months, we bake it.


You can actually use any citrus it really keeps the salmon moist and tender.

What I really love about this recipe is the ease of making a gourmet tasting meal, the sauce makes all the difference.


Fresh dill is always a first choice but dried in a pinch will work also.


Salmon is one of those healthy oily fish that absorbs all the flavors perfectly in every bite.
