Steps:
- Place turkey bacon in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Cook to desired crispness, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Chop bacon into small pieces.
- Mix Swanson® Chicken Stock, cream, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dill in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, 30 seconds.
- Place water in the bottom of a double boiler; water should not touch the bottom of the top pan. Bring water to a boil. Lightly beat egg yolks in the top of the double boiler. Cook, stirring until thickened and egg yolks are about double in volume, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
- Gradually whisk in stock/cream mixture, whisking until completely combined. Mix thoroughly for another minute. Season with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Remove from heat and cover to keep sauce warm.
- Set a steamer basket insert into a large saucepan. Pour in Swanson® Chicken Broth to just below the bottom of the steamer; bring to a boil. Add green beans, season with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and steam until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Discard leftover chicken broth or reserve for another use.
- Transfer beans to a serving dish; sprinkle with bacon crumbles. Top with hollandaise sauce and serve.

Steps:
- First of all, smear a little butter over the base of a large frying pan, then arrange the fillets in it.
- Now slowly pour the Champagne over the salmon (it will foam quite a lot, but not to worry), then bring it to a simmer over a medium heat. Now spoon the Champagne over the top of the fillets before putting the lid on.
- Gently poach the salmon, covered, for about 8-10 minutes. The tip of a knife inserted into the thickest part will show if it is cooked when you just ease the flesh back.
- While the salmon is poaching, melt the butter in a medium saucepan and cook the shallots in it over a gentle heat for 5-6 minutes, until softened and golden but not browned.
- When the salmon is cooked, carefully lift the fillets on to a warmed dish, cover them with foil and keep warm.
- Next, add the flour to the buttery shallot juices, stir it in and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- Now gradually add the salmon poaching liquid to the pan, a little at a time, then blend in the cream, whisking until the sauce is smooth. Let it come to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, then season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Serve the salmon fillets on warmed plates with a little of the sauce spooned over and a teaspoon of keta (optional) and a sprig of dill on top, along with fresh lemon wedges and hand the rest of the sauce round in a warmed jug.
- Very nice accompanied with fresh, shelled peas, or a green salad with plenty of cucumber and a lemony dressing.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium-size bowl, mix the marinade ingredients together. Cut the halibut into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Add the fish to the marinade and toss well. Set aside for 30 minutes.
- 2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a blender, blend the pineapple sauce ingredients until smooth.
- 3. When the water is boiling, add the vermicelli and stir. Cook until the noodles are soft but not mushy, 1 to 2 minutes. (Or just soak the noodles in a bowl of hot water for 4 to 5 minutes.) Drain well and divide among 4 plates; set aside.
- 4. Heat a large sauté pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add half the marinated fish and reduce heat to medium. Cook until the fish starts to brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Carefully turn the fish pieces over, then cook for about 20 seconds more. Add half the dill and scallions and sauté for about 20 seconds, or until the scallions are wilted.
- 5. Divide the cooked fish, scallions, and dill over 2 of the plates of noodles.
- 6. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining fish, scallions, and dill, then divide them over the remaining two plates.
- 7. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of the pineapple sauce over the fish and noodles. Sprinkle with the roasted peanuts and serve immediately. Pass the extra pineapple sauce at the table.
FRESH DILL SAUCE
Steps:
- Place the mayonnaise, sour cream, yogurt, cream cheese, scallions, dill, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree for a few seconds, until well mixed. Add the cucumber and puree for another few seconds, until combined. Pour into a container and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Tips:
- Choose fresh dill: The fresher the dill, the more flavorful your sauce will be. Look for dill that is bright green and has no signs of wilting.
- Use a variety of herbs: In addition to dill, you can also add other herbs to your sauce, such as parsley, chives, or tarragon. This will give your sauce a more complex flavor.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of your sauce, so it's important to use a good quality mayonnaise. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil.
- Season to taste: Once you've made your sauce, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
- Use your sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator: You can use your sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Fresh dill sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for grilled fish or chicken, roasted vegetables, or as a dip for vegetables or chips. It's also a great way to add flavor to salads or sandwiches. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add flavor to your food, give fresh dill sauce a try.
