Note

For the best flavor, use fresh dill rather than dried. If possible, opt for wild-caught salmon for a richer taste and firmer texture. To prevent the salmon from drying out, be careful not to overcook it—aim for an internal temperature of 125°F to 130°F for medium-rare.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I use dried dill instead of fresh dill?

Yes you can substitute dried dill if fresh is unavailable. Use about one-third the amount of dried dill since it's more concentrated in flavor.

 

What type of salmon should I use?

Wild-caught salmon such as sockeye or king, offers a richer flavor and firmer texture. However, farm-raised salmon works well too if that’s what you have available.

How do I know when the salmon is done?

Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 125°F to 130°F for medium-rare. If you prefer well-done, cook it until it reaches 145°F.

 

Can I make the creamy dill sauce ahead of time?

Yes the sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and give it a good stir before serving.

 

Can I grill the salmon instead of pan-searing or baking it?

Absolutely! Grilling the salmon adds a smoky flavor that complements the creamy dill sauce. Just be sure to oil the grates to prevent sticking.
