Dill Lime Cream Sauce
Dill sauces are particularly popular in Scandinavian and Eastern European cuisines, where fresh dill often accompanies fish and vegetables. The addition of lime gives this classic sauce a modern, refreshing twist that perfectly balances the creaminess of the cream. As the aroma of garlic sautéed in butter mingles with the fresh citrus aroma of lime, the kitchen is filled with the promise of freshness and creamy richness. The secret of the sauce lies in its simplicity: dill, lime and cream form a perfect harmony. This sauce goes perfectly with grilled fish, roast chicken or even steamed vegetables to provide a light yet flavorful addition.
