Notes
- Season moderately. Don't be afraid to add a few large pinches of Kosher salt and a couple large pinches of black pepper. The ingredient list for this recipe is short and sweet so salt and pepper are going to go a long way in boosting the overall flavor of the sauce. If you think it seems a bit flat, add a couple pinches of salt until it has more depth.
- Serve this sauce with air-fried salmon! While the salmon cooks in the air fryer - in just 10 minutes! - you can throw this easy dill sauce together. The two pair perfectly and after you try them together, you'll never want salmon any other way! Both recipes only take a few minutes to prep and come together for a delicious and fast family dinner.
