Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, measure out 1 cup of coconut yogurt, ensuring it is smooth and well-stirred.
- Carefully wash and pat dry fresh dill, then finely chop the dill leaves to release their aromatic oils.
- Add the chopped fresh dill to the coconut yogurt, stirring gently to distribute evenly throughout the sauce.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice, measuring out exactly 1 tablespoon, and pour into the yogurt mixture.
- Sprinkle garlic powder into the sauce, using a measuring spoon to ensure precise amount.
- Add salt to taste, starting with a small pinch and adjusting according to personal preference.
- Whisk all ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth and well combined.
- Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld together before serving.
- Serve chilled over grilled, baked, or pan-seared salmon, garnishing with additional fresh dill if desired.
Tips
- Use fresh dill whenever possible - it makes a world of difference in flavor compared to dried herbs.
- Let the sauce chill for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop and meld together.
- For extra creaminess, use a thick, high-quality coconut yogurt with minimal water content.
- Adjust salt and garlic powder gradually, tasting as you go to achieve your perfect flavor balance.
- This sauce isn't just for salmon - try it as a dip for vegetables, a dressing for salads, or a topping for grilled chicken.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a small amount of unsweetened plant-based milk to adjust the texture.
- Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
