Ingredients
  

  • 25 g Butter
  • 20 g All-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh dill weed chopped or as desired
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 Tablespoon capers chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter on low medium heat, add flour, and stir continuously to form a light paste. Continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture slightly changes colour and smells nutty.
  • Slowly and gradually pour the milk into the roux and stir continuously until a smooth and lump-free sauce is achieved.
  • Add chopped dill weed, chopped capers, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly and continue to cook for another two or five or until the sauce has thickened to your liking and no longer tastes floury.
    Add more milk or water to the sauce if it is becoming too thick.

Notes

Tips
  • Stir in some heavy cream, cheese or cream cheese for a more creamy and cheesy flavor.
  • Substitute the fresh dill weed with dried dill, 1 Tablespoon of fresh dill = 1 teaspoon dried dill weed.
  • Instead of serving the dill sauce over the fish, you can add the cooked salmon fillet in the creamy sauce for 2 minutes before taking it off the heat for the flavors to meld together.
