The salmon can be cooked any way you prefer, because the star of this recipe is the lemon cream sauce made with Meyer lemon.

The only thing I did was add a tiny bit more dill and the zest of the Meyer lemon. Very good! Thanks for sharing it. Read More

I could not find Meyer's Lemon Juice and used a store brand instead. I found myself using more, in fact much more, lemon than what the recipe called for and more dill weed as well. I don't know if this was because of the difference in ingredients or if my taste buds just wanted a little more of a stronger flavor. I poured the sauce over some salmon patties that I made using the "Easy Tuna Patties" recipe on this website. I just substituted canned salmon for the tuna. In the end, my wife loved it. That says a lot. :) Read More
