Butter dill sauce is made by melting butter gently and stirring in finely chopped fresh dill. Take it off the heat before adding the dill to keep its aroma fresh; a little lemon juice is an optional bright finish.
Butter dill sauce works especially well with baked or pan-fried fish, potatoes, and simply cooked vegetables. Spoon it over the food just before serving, or offer it on the side so diners can add as much as they like.
Yes, butter dill sauce pairs well with salmon. Spoon a little over grilled, baked, or pan-seared salmon after cooking; adding it at the end keeps the delicate dill flavor from being lost during cooking.
Yes, butter dill sauce is an easy finishing sauce for steamed green beans, asparagus, carrots, or peas. Toss the vegetables with it while they are hot, so the melted butter coats them evenly.
Butter dill sauce usually needs no thickener because melted butter gives it body. If it seems too thin, whisk in a small amount of cold butter off the heat; avoid boiling it, which can make the sauce separate.
Yes, butter dill sauce can be served with shrimp, scallops, or crab as well as fish. Add it after cooking or serve it as a dip, so the fresh dill complements the seafood without being scorched.
Yes, you can make butter dill sauce ahead and refrigerate it in a covered container for up to 3 days. Reheat only the amount you need gently, then stir it well before serving.
Reheat butter dill sauce slowly in a small pan over low heat, stirring continuously; do not let it boil. If it starts to separate, take it off the heat and whisk until the butter comes together again.
Yes, butter dill sauce can be frozen in small portions, though its texture may be less smooth after thawing. Thaw it in the refrigerator and warm it gently while whisking to bring the sauce back together.
Yes, dried dill can replace fresh dill in butter dill sauce, but the flavor will be less bright. Add a small amount to the warm butter, let it sit briefly to release its aroma, and taste before adding more.

Butter dill sauce combines melted butter with fresh dill for a rich, aromatic finish. It is easy to make at home, and the herb’s bright, grassy flavour cuts through the butter’s richness. Some versions include lemon, but butter and dill are the defining ingredients.
In English-speaking kitchens, it is commonly served with fish or seafood, and also works well over potatoes and cooked vegetables.
