Grilled salmon is my favorite fish recipe. I like the flavor of it, how easy it is
to prepare, and how healthy it is.
The cucumber dill sauce here only makes it better!
The salmon is seasoned simply for the grill. The cucumber sauce is mellow and
refreshing with a little crunch. I
have used both fresh dill and dried dill, and I’ve used Vidalia onion slices as
well as red onion, it doesn’t matter.
It’s the combination of it all with sour cream, vinegar and seasonings
that makes for a dish good enough for company.
Bill gave this dinner a rave review and I seconded it!
It’s simply good summer-time eating!

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cucumber (2 cups) thinly sliced
½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

Pam, That is a fine looking entree! I like salmon but we've never gotten into cooking fish at home... We need to face this challenge as we both like fish! Thanks and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteSalmon is one of our main go-to fish and you're right - cucumber dill sauce is a wonderful accompaniment. Sure looks like summer at your house.

Salmon take a lot of beating. We had barbecued salmon while in Portugal and our host cooked it to perfection. Hope all is well Diane

I grilled salmon tonight for dinner! Now I'm wishing I had read your post earlier as your cucumber dill sauce would have been the perfect accompaniment!
ReplyDeleteI love grilled salmon. This cucumber dill sauce would be wonderful with grilled salmon. I am going to have to try this, yum.
ReplyDeleteOur favorite!! We were lucky enough to snag a Copper River salmon last month at Costco. What a treat! I roasted it in the oven but imagine it would have been delicious on the grill.
ReplyDeleteBest,

I've been thinking about salmon lately and this may have pushed me over the edge - looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! And the dill sauce looks perfect with the salmon! Yummy meal!
ReplyDeleteWe've been low-carbing it in this house since March. This is a perfect summer meal and let's me stick to "the plan." Will be making this soon.
