Hi Everyone and Happy Fourth of July Wednesday to you!

I'm going to try something new for a few days. I have many side dish recipes that I'd like to contribute to the newsletter, so each day I will be adding a side dish recipe to accompany the main dish. Let me know what you think of this concept and if there is enough interest, I will continue with the matching.

Dill is an herb that I love to use, especially in the summer. Last year the plants wouldn't take in my garden so we had to buy it, this year we have LOTS! I am so happy to be able to go out to the garden and snip off the amount I want. This recipe sounds so delicious! Dill and Fish just go so nicely together. Enjoy!

Grilled Salmon with Dill Sauce

1 (1-1/2 lb.) salmon fillet, cut into 6 pieces
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. dried dill, plus 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/3 cup evaporated milk
2 tsp. lemon juice

2. Grill salmon 4 inches from medium heat for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily then tested with a fork. Do not overcook.
