Dill sauce topped broiled salmon would work well for the weeknight dinner. The dill sauce adds much flavor to the broiled salmon.
Yay, it’s Friday, the end of the week. I am looking forward to the long weekend. Those of us in the United States will be celebrating Labor Day. The last celebration of summer. Actually, I have been looking forward to fall. It has been a busy summer and I am hoping that fall will slow things down just a bit.
I have to confess that I am getting excited about making some comfort foods again. I have been missing the soups that I make during the cooler weather. Oh, but I will not be happy when the snow starts falling, but I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
I enjoy eating salmon. Normally we broil our salmon or put on the George Forman grill. We like it with a little lemon juice, salt, and pepper. But this time, I thought I would dress it up a bit. Dill sauce topped broiled salmon is a bit tastier than the way we usually eat it.
When eating fish I enjoy a sauce made with a mayo base. So I started out with that thought and ran with it. The sauce is full of flavor and works well with this simple broiled salmon.
How do you like to eat your salmon?

- To make the Dill Sauce

Salmon is my favourite too. This looks simple and divine.
This salmon looks so fantastic. It’s making me hungry.
Isn’t it great that simple broiled salmon can be taken to new realms by topping it with a sauce. This dilled topper sounds perfect! Hope you’re enjoying the holiday weekend!!!
I’m with ya on the seasons, Dawn! I love Fall and the return of comfort food…but I can do without all the snow. This salmon sounds fantastic…and that dill cream sauce needs to make an appearance in my kitchen soon. Like maybe for dinner tonight! 🙂
