Notes

  • Adjust seasoning with kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
  • For best flavor, prepare the sauce fresh and use within 2 days, stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • The sauce pairs exceptionally well with salmon and asparagus cooked in an air fryer, but it also works great with grilled or baked fish.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a slightly tangier and healthier version.
