I make fish dishes for D all the time, but i was tired of making the same standards. So for Friday’s dinner I tried something new: a dijon dill sauce. It was savoury and creamy and absolutely excellent on my roasted vegetables. So much so, that I made sure to put it in D’s side bento for with lunch. So here, in the right tier is salmon with dijon dill sauce and a potato latke. In the left tier is a sliced peach and blackberries.

 

Dijon dill sauce

• 1 small shallot, minced
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp  dill
• 3 tbsp butter
• salt and pepper to taste

In a small saucepan over med-low heat melt 1 tbsp butter, and saute minced shallot until translucent. Add wine and simmer until reduced by half. Whisk in dijon mustard and dill. Cut in remaining 2 tbsp cold butter until well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
