Our Grilled Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce will make you legendary in the kitchen (but we know you're likely already there, kitchen wiz). With a creamy, tangy lemon dill sauce and tender salmon, this recipe will leave family and friends asking for seconds. Whether you're firing up the grill for our salmon with dill sauce or using the broiler, you've got what it takes to make it incredible. In a pinch, you can substitute lime for lemon in the dill sauce for salmon. We love this dish for lunch and dinner.
