Loved the sauce! I had leftover and it was really dilly the next day. Delicious! I pan seared the salmon instead of poaching it (personal preference) with salt and pepper. Then I squeezed a little lemon juice over and served with the mustard dill sauce. I made the sauce with Splenda brown sugar blend and substituted plain yogurt for the sour cream (let it drip in a sieve for 20 minutes or so to thicken).
