Instructions
Preparation
In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Add the finely grated garlic (if using).
Add the chopped dill or parsley (or a mix of both).
Season with salt to taste and mix well.
Let the sauce rest for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serving
Serve alongside cod or any white fish cooked sous vide.
Also pairs wonderfully with vegetables — cucumbers, tomatoes, or roasted potatoes.
Use Greek yogurt specifically — it is thick and won't separate. Regular yogurt will be too thin.
A fat content of 5–10% provides the optimal balance between flavor and lightness.
Dill is a classic pairing with fish and adds a fresh aroma.
Parsley is more neutral and works well for an all-purpose sauce.
You can combine dill, parsley, and a little mint for a Greek-inspired flavor.
The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Before serving, let it sit for 5–10 minutes at room temperature.
Add finely diced cucumber to make a tzatziki-style sauce.
Add a pinch of ground cumin for a Middle Eastern twist.
Replace lemon with lime for a brighter, more pronounced acidity.
