You all are loving the recipes lately, so here’s another one. This creamy dill sauce with salmon is the best. I’ve been making this recipe from Danielle Walker’s cookbook, Against All Grain. Our kids gobble it up, it’s like a fancy recipe from a restaurant but not, and it’s just the best.

Baked Salmon with Dill Sauce

Salmon fillets baked and roasted with a creamy garlic and dill sauce makes for the perfect light dinner.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

6 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin-on, bones removed
1 tablespoon melted bacon grease or ghee
sea salt & pepper

Dill Sauce

2 tablespoons bacon grease or ghee
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken bone broth
3 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rub the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of melted bacon grease. Use more or less as you see fit. Season with salt and pepper. Place fillets skin side down on the baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Make your sauce! Melt 1 tablespoon bacon grease in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat. Saute the minced garlic for about 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
Now you're ready to place the salmon in the oven. Roast for about 7-10 minutes depending on the thickness of your fillets. The fillets should flake slightly in the center when done.
Back to your sauce: whisk in the remaining sauce ingredients, 1 tablespoon bacon grease, coconut milk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Simmer on low until fish is ready.
Serve hot with sauce spooned over the top.
