Swedish sour cream and caviar sauce, also known as gravlaxsas, is a creamy, tangy, and luxurious sauce that perfectly complements the delicate flavor of salmon. It's a classic Swedish condiment that is typically served with gravlax, a cured salmon dish. The sauce is made with a base of sour cream, mayonnaise, and crème fraîche, and is flavored with lemon juice, dill, red onion, and caviar. It's a quick and easy sauce to make, and it can be used as a dip, a spread, or a topping. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step recipe for making Swedish sour cream and caviar sauce for salmon, as well as some tips on how to serve it.

SALMON WITH CREAMY DILL SAUCE
I served this with spaghetti. I tossed the hot, drained noodles with enough of the sauce to coat, plated the spaghetti, topped with the salmon and dressed the salmon with another dollop of the sauce, and garnished with a few more capers.

SOUR CREAM & DILL SAUCE TO SERVE WITH SALMON
I prefer to make this sauce ahead to give the flavors time to blend together. I've usually served this with salmon baked with a combination of white wine, tarragon, dill & shallots or scallions. I'm posting this the way it originally came to me, but nowadays I would omit the salt and let others add it at the dinner table.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Make the salmon: Using a sharp knife, cut slits crosswise along both sides of salmon, spacing each about 2 inches apart. Stuff each slit with 1 lemon slice and 1 sprig of each herb. Rub salmon all over with oil, and season with salt and pepper. (If making a side of salmon, cut slits into flesh, and stuff with some of the lemon slices and herbs. Do not oil or season.)
- Season cavity with salt and pepper, and stuff with scallions. Transfer salmon to a parchment-lined baking sheet. (If making a side of salmon, top flesh with scallions, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer salmon to baking sheet flesh side up.) Roast for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. Roast salmon until flesh is slightly firm to the touch and the tip of a paring knife inserted into the center comes out hot, 30 to 35 minutes. (Salmon will be medium-rare after 30 minutes. If making a side of salmon, roast for 6 to 8 minutes at 450 degrees.) Loosen fish from skin using a metal spatula.
- Meanwhile, make the horseradish-caper cream sauce: Mix together sour cream, horseradish, lemon juice, chives, and capers. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Serve salmon with sauce.

- To add a bit of extra flavor to the sauce, you can stir in some finely chopped red onion, capers, or dill.
- Serve the sauce immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
