Salmon with Cucumber Dill Sauce

I got this recipe from our friends, the Tilton's.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

Place a large piece of aluminum foil over a baking sheet. Place salmon fillet on the center of the foil. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, lay a few sprigs of fresh dill on top, and some slices of lemon. Wrap the fish in the foil so it's tightly sealed. Bake for 20-25 minutes for a 4 lb fillet. You will know it's done if the meat flakes easily.

Remove fillet from foil onto a platter. Serve with cucumber dill sauce.

Cucumber Dill Sauce

1 c. sour cream or whole milk yogurt
1/4 c. Best Foods Mayonnaise
1 large cucumber, finely shredded
2 T. fresh dill or 1 T. dry dill
1/4 t. garlic salt
1/4 t. onion salt
1/4 t. salt
1-2 T. lemon juice
1 T. olive oil

Mix sour cream and mayonnaise with a whisk to remove lumps. Add cucumber, reserving liquid from shredding to be added later if desired. Add all other ingredients and stir together. Thin with cucumber juice if desired. If possible, make sauce a day ahead of time to allow flavors to develop.
