DILL SAUCE

Recipe:

2 Tbsp flour                                                   2 Tbsp butter or margarine 

1 Small onion, diced                                     1/2 Tsp dill, fresh or dried

1/2 Tsp sea salt                                             1/2 Tsp white pepper

1 Cup evaporated milk                                  1 Cup white wine or vegetable broth

1 Tbsp lemon juice                                        1/2 Tsp onion powder          

Method:

In a large frying pan on a medium heat, add butter and diced onion, sea salt, white pepper and onion powder let fry for a few minutes to soften the onions.

Then add flour, continue cooking flour until its looking like a paste. Deglaze with white wine or veggie broth, continue stirring with whisk until the flour mixture starts to thicken.

Then add evaporated milk, dill and lemon juice, continue mixing and lower heat to simmer. Add more milk or broth if sauce becomes to thick, taste sauce if you like to add more seasonings to your taste that is ok. Simmer on low heat until ready to use, add more veggie broth it needed, stirring occasionally!

Bonita’s Tips: Serve with a steamed rice or veggies.

Fresh or canned salmon got hidden bones, be sure to remove any before making this meal.
