Nice! Made this for a working lunch. I actually made sandwiches on baguettes. But the recipe was the same. Being lunch I just made sandwiches on grilled baguettes (and the salmon also grilled) and served some shredded napa cabbage. Followed almost exactly ... No food coloring, and I know you said optional. Fresh dill and if using fresh I used more. Dried is much stronger, so fresh I did use more. And cracked pepper, yes, is great with this as well as good horseradish. This is what makes the sauce so good. Simple ingredients. It would be great without the sandwich, that is just how we had it, but next time will just be over a piece of grilled salmon for dinner. Nice and spicy, but NOT too hot. It was great. Kim -
The fish I made it for was Trout. It turned out wonderful. I think next time, I will add a bit more horseradish, and make sure I have fresh dill. But other than that it was superb. My mother-in-law who is the biggest critic, loved it. -
First of all let me say this was really good. I didn't have horseradish, so I used creamy horseradish instead. I used too much, and when I tasted it alone, I thought, yuck! But I already had my salmon thawed out, and we don't like the taste of salmon alone. So, I put some on the cooked salmon, and lo, and behold, it was really good! We are trying to like salmon, so we are really grateful to you for this sauce that was really good on the fish! thanks.

<p>Married to my sweetheart for almost forty years and we have two wonderful children who are grown and have flown the coop. Also, we have been blessed with a wonderful son-in-law and beautiful daughter-in-law, plus FIVE grandchildren: two beautiful granddaughters ages five and eight, and three sweet adorable little grandsons ages 2 months, 2 years and 3 years. My husband and I share a combination of English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch, Swiss, Polish, Austrian, German and French heritage, and our son-in-law and daughter-in-law are both Hispanic. We've traveled extensively to many countries abroad (we lived in Germany), and have traveled and lived in several states here in the U.S.A. Many of the recipes I post here are influenced by our combined heritage or from our travels, or they are old family favorites that I want to share with you. I hope you enjoy! Have been to culinary school with many years of cooking (mostly for my family) under my belt, so know my way around a kitchen. And I'm very lucky to have the best sous chef in the world, dddddh! One of my favorite chefs of all time is Jacques Pepin! I have several of his cookbooks, and enjoy watching his television cooking show Fast Food My Way. Another top favorite is Julia Child (of course!). A few other chefs I read/enjoy watching on t.v. are: Giada At Home, Ina Garten's The Barefoot Contessa, Nigella Lawson's Nigella Bites, and Patti's Mexican Kitchen, and many more. On my bucket list is dining at Thomas Keller's establishment The French Laundry in Napa Valley, California... as well as Alice Waters' Chez Panisse in Berkeley, and the James Beard award winning Tartine Bakery and Cafe in San Francisco. One day!! Hobbies/Interests: Decorating with fresh flowers and herbs from the garden is my passion, and brings me deep joy! It's really hard to beat!! I love connecting with others who enjoy the same. Gardening, decorating, sewing, music, dancing, film, and reading are also up there. Spending quality time with my grandchildren, family, and friends (and cooking holiday meals!). Currently, a newfound passion has been so richly rewarding for me: genealogical research. I heart ancestry dot com. And last but certainly not least, I absolutely LOVE cats--we have two half-Siamese fur babies (cats) that allow us to live here!! A Note of Thanks~ I try to personally thank everyone who kindly makes and reviews my recipes, but sometimes I am busy, late, or may forget. Please know that I am always humbled that you would try one of my recipes, and I enjoy reading the reviews and seeing all the pretty photographs. Thanks so much! </p>
