I love salmon and will try your dill sauce, it looks delicious.
I love, love salmon and this is right up my alley!
I’m sure vampires won’t be interested in this salmon, but I definitely am! Love the use of avocado in the sauce, I’ve never thought of using avocado this way, brilliant! Saving this to try out when I got my avocado!
This looks amazing and swimsuit approved!
I’ve baked salmon probably once a week, but I’ve never tried it with this delicious avocado sauce! Pinning to try!
We love salmon too and love trying it different ways. Thanks for the pin dear!
I love salmon and your sauce looks delicious and it is healthy. Thank you!
Thank you Gerlinde! You know the whole drama and getting kids to eat fish. This special dilly lemon sauce is the secret weapon. LOL
It’s salmon season! Love the wild fresh salmon we get from the Pacific at this time of the year. This is a great dish — loaded with flavor, healthy, and really satisfying. Good stuff! Thanks so much.
Thank you. We love salmon season too and try to make the most of it while we can get it fresh. Fresh wild salmon costs a little more but worth it.
I love learning new ways to prepare salmon, which we love. The avocado here makes great sense and everything looks delicious. The ease of cooking (and clean up ) is a huge plus!
Thank you Monica. We even lined our baking sheet with aluminum foil so clean up was a snap.
