Sweet & Tangy Honey Dill Mustard Sauce

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes
This sauce is the creamier cousin of Scandinavian 'Gravlax' sauce. The fresh, anise notes of dill and the kick of mustard are a classic pairing for fish, but adding sour cream creates a softer, more universal sauce that won't overpower delicate flavors. A quick, no-cook sauce ready in moments.

Instructions

1 ✓

Prep: Wash dill, discard thick stems (save for stock!), and chop leaves finely.

Tip: Dill essential oils are sensitive. Cut with a sharp knife, don't bruise it.
2 ✓

Base: Mix mustard and honey until smooth in the bottom of a bowl.

Tip: Starting with the thick ingredients makes it easier to avoid lumps.
3 ✓

Thicken: Add sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Whisk until homogeneous.

Tip: White pepper is less visible in light sauces and has a more refined heat.
4 ✓

Flavor: Fold in the chopped dill.

Tip: Don't overmix aggressively to keep dill leaves distinct and pretty.
5 ✓

Rest: Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Tip: Cold improves consistency as the sour cream sets.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use dried dill?
In an emergency, yes, but the experience isn't the same. Soak dried dill in lemon juice for a few minutes before using.
Shelf life?
Since it contains sour cream, 3-4 days in the fridge. Dill color may fade, but flavor stays good.
