Mustard Dill Sauce for Salmon

This is a simple recipe for a dill, honey and mustard sauce that goes great with smoked salmon or chicken.

We used to love a trip to Ikea – lunch would be Swedish meatballs and a soft ice cream on the way out. But we never left without grabbing some Gravad Lax and a bottle of their Senap and dill sauce.

Now there’s no Ikea nearby, so this recipe is my own (and pretty successful) attempt at copying that tasty sauce.

What to serve with this mustard and dill dressing

Smoked salmon is obviously the first thing that comes to mind. Try making some delicious smoked salmon flatbread appetizers or smoked salmon crackers with cream cheese and use this mustard and dill sauce to complement it.

Gravad lax, which is salmon cured in sugar, salt and dill is also a good combination for this dill and mustard dressing.

You can also use this sauce as a salad dressing with a baby leaf salad, avocado and bacon salad, or crispy chicken salad.

It is also great as a topping with some ham on toast, if you are using some delicious home-baked and glazed ham.

This honey dill mustard sauce is also great as a sauce for some honey mustard chicken wraps.

So when you are not quite sure what to use to improve the taste of something – maybe this is exactly what you are looking for! The Ikea dill sauce certainly has inspired some combinations.

Honey Mustard Sauce without Mayo

This sauce recipe does not include any Mayo, and yet it is still creamy and delicious. It adds just the perfect combination of tastes to complement your salmon (the sweetness of the honey and the bite of the Dijon mustard together with the subtleness of the dill).

It really is so easy and quick to make and we have all the ingredients (except fresh dill) close to hand in our kitchen pantry. I used dried dill for this which also works fine, (but I am sure some fresh dill would be a little bit better).

This mustard & dill sauce will also keep well in the fridge for a few days at least.

And at least now you will never have to visit Ikea again (unless of course, you need some new furniture or other household items)! Try his link for my Ikea style Swedish meatball recipe.

Dill Honey Mustard Sauce

This sauce is a perfect accompaniment to smoked salmon, fish, shrimp or ham. A simple easy recipe that is easily as good as the smoked salmon sauce you can get from Ikea.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
2 tsp runny honey
1 tbsp cider vinegar
4 tbsp virgin olive oil
1 tsp dried dill (by all means use fresh if you can get it)
1 tsp golden caster sugar
Zest of 1/2 lime
Juice 1/2 lime
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Mix the mustard, honey and olive oil in a bowl and whisk together.
Then add the vinegar, dill, sugar, lime zest and lime juice and stir until well mixed.
Use it to serve with smoked salmon canapes, ham, hors d'oeuvres, or as a salad dressing with chicken.

Notes

I used dried dill in this recipe as I could not get any fresh dill. But dried dill works just as well.
