I have to admit, I just love a good Keto sauce. No matter what the entrée is, sauce always seems to pull the flavors together and makes the dish seem extra special.

Lemon dill sauce is super easy to make and can be served with just about any of your favorite seafood dishes. Not only is it amazing with baked salmon, it's delicious with Grilled Shrimp Skewers, Keto Salmon Cakes and these Keto Blackened Salmon.
Since it comes together so quickly and uses ingredients that I typically have readily available it has become a go-to Keto cream sauce for a lot of recipes.
Once you see how creamy and tangy this dill sauce for salmon taste, you'll find all sort of great ways to use it. It's even good as a dipping sauce or drizzled over grilled veggies.

How to Make Creamy Dill Sauce

Is Dill Sauce Keto?
A lot of times people ask if a particular recipe is Keto. The bottom line when determining if something is okay for Keto is determine if the ingredients are clean and low carb.
Since most store-bought brands of mayonnaise is made with soy bean oil or other preservatives, it's recommended that you make you own or use a mayo with clean ingredients.
Because this creamy lemon dill sauce recipe uses a homemade mayonnaise, the minimal carbs it has comes from the trace amounts found in eggs, lemon juice and fresh dill making it a great Keto sauce.
Can You Freeze Lemon Dill Sauce?
It is best to eat this salmon dill sauce when it's freshly made. Sour cream based sauces don't seem to thaw very well. The texture becomes almost grainy. But the great news is, it truly only takes minutes to prepare a fresh batch.
