It seems like every summer I get fixated on one particular herb, and this year it’s definitely dill. As soon as my dill plants sprout out a few feathery leaves, I snip them and make another dill-flavored recipe. And the latest thing I made with dill is this creamy cucumber-dill sauce that’s served at one of the best seafood restaurants in Utah.

People who’ve eaten at Market Street Grill in Salt Lake know that this Cucumber-Dill Sauce for Fish is one thing that keeps customers coming back. When I visited Market Street Grill Restaurant recently I saw they were giving out the sauce recipe. Then I met the owners of the restaurant and they gave me permission to publish the recipe on the blog!

No matter what kind of fish I order at Market Street Grill, I always ask for extra sauce, and I love so many different types of fish eaten with this cucumber-dill sauce! Dill is commonly used with yogurt in sauces and salad dressing, but this recipe pairs the dill with equal parts of sour cream and mayo for a creamier sauce. I tried the famous Market Street Grill sauce out on my dad, step-mother, and sister, and they all thought it was great.

At the restaurant this sauce is served with salmon, halibut, scallops, and fish and chips, but it would be good with most any type of seafood. And I’ve discovered this sauce is also delicious on Grilled Zucchini or Grilled Eggplant.

What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

What if you don’t have fresh dill?

I’ve made the cucumber-dill sauce with fresh dill as well as with the dried variety, which is called dill weed. I do love fresh dill in recipes, and Dill is fairly easy to grow and can be planted in the fall for early dill next spring. And if you neglect your dill plant a little at the end of the garden season, it will happily drop enough seeds to guarantee a good supply of dill the following summer.
