Tips
- • Use fresh, room-temperature juices for the most vibrant flavor profile • Whisk the olive oil slowly to ensure a smooth, well-emulsified sauce • Chop dill just before adding to maximize its aromatic qualities • Taste and adjust seasoning gradually – a little salt and pepper go a long way • For best results, let the sauce rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld • Serve immediately for optimal freshness and flavor intensity • Consider using this sauce with delicate fish like halibut, cod, or sea bass • If preparing in advance, store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours
