Jump to Recipe This cold buttermilk dill sauce is delicious on anything from raw or roasted vegetables to grilled or baked salmon. The characteristic buttermilk flavor is intensified by sour cream, mayonnaise, salt and lemon juice. Onion powder adds great flavor and umami and works exceptionally well with the fresh dill flavor in this recipe.
Recipe ingredients and notes:
I don't recommend substituting dried dill (dill weed) for the fresh dill in this recipe. Dill weed works great in dry seasonings (like this dill garlic spice blend) but its flavor suffers when it's rehydrated with liquid.
How to make it:
See full ingredient amounts and instructions in the recipe card below!
- Add all ingredients to a bowl.
- Whisk until well combined and smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
How to serve it:
This sauce is very versatile and here are just a few ideas. Serve the sauce as:
- a dip for raw vegetables
- a condiment for roasted vegetables
- on grilled, broiled or baked salmon fillets
- a salad dressing
- I personally love this buttermilk sauce on salmon seasoned with this salmon brown sugar rub. The creamy, tart flavor of the sauce is a great contrast to the sweet and spicy salmon.
