Notes
Lemon Sauce For Fish is quite versatile, so don’t be afraid to play around with it! If you’re not a fan of dill or chives, try substituting with parsley, basil, or even tarragon to change up the flavor. You can also adjust the level of tanginess to your taste by adding more or less lemon juice.
This sauce will keep in the fridge for up to a week, so feel free to make a double batch and use it throughout the week.
When serving, you can also add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top for extra brightness. Lastly, don’t overmix the sauce – you want it to be smooth, but still retain a bit of texture from the herbs.
