Alright, let’s talk ingredients — because with Dill Salmon with Potato Wedges and Creamy Pickle Dill Sauce, quality and a few tricks in your ingredient prep make all the difference. Here’s my favorite lineup:

I always use fresh dill for my Dill Salmon with Potato Wedges and Creamy Pickle Dill Sauce; it’s such a game-changer for that vibrant, green-herby punch. When you’re picking your salmon, look for wild-caught if possible — I find it tastes better and supports sustainable fishing. For the potatoes, russets are king for crispy wedges because their starchy texture crisps up so well in the oven. If you want shortcuts (and trust me, I do when life gets crazy), store-bought pre-cut potato wedges work too, just toss them with a little extra olive oil and seasoning.

When shopping for the creamy dill sauce ingredients, you can find quality dill pickles and good mayo easily at your local grocery store or farmers market. If you want an extra hint of crispness, choosing pickles with a garlic or herb kick can deepen the flavor profile for your pickle flavored dressing. Here’s a Dill Salmon with Potato Wedges and Creamy Pickle Dill Sauce trick I learned — adding pickle juice to the sauce keeps it from being too heavy and helps cut through the richness of the salmon and potatoes.

To keep costs manageable, especially if feeding a family, buying salmon in bulk and freezing portions works well. You can also pick up dill fresh from a garden or grow it on a sunny kitchen windowsill to have on hand. Leftover ingredients like lemon zest and dill pickles keep well refrigerated — and those little extras save you from last-minute runs to the store.
