QUICK POACHED SALMON WITH DILL MUSTARD SAUCE
This is an easy, elegant, wonderful salmon dish with a no-cook sauce. It really doesn't get much easier. I love it best on swelteringly hot summer days. Fresh steamed asparagus goes very well with this, and the sauce tastes good on it as well.

Tips:
- To achieve a smooth and lump-free sauce, whisk the ingredients continuously while heating. If lumps do form, use an immersion blender to smooth out the sauce.
- Fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or parsley, can be used to add flavor and color to the sauce.
- For a tangy flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a teaspoon of white wine vinegar to the sauce.
- If you don't have plain Greek yogurt on hand, you can use sour cream instead. However, sour cream will make the sauce richer and less tangy.
- Serve the sauce immediately over poached fish, grilled chicken, or steamed vegetables.
Conclusion:
This low-calorie dill sauce is a versatile and flavorful condiment that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a light and refreshing sauce for poached fish or a creamy and tangy sauce for grilled chicken, this dill sauce is sure to please.
