B.C. Salmon Avo Dressing

What It Is

Mayonnaise, plain yogurt, lemon, garlic, white-wine vinegar and honey make a creamy dressing that is especially good with salmon.

Origin

This is my canadian-leaning version, built around the ingredients and method that give the recipe its character.

Fun Fact

Acid in lemon and vinegar brightens fatty fish because it cuts through richness instead of trying to compete with it.

Notes

Taste before the final adjustment. A recipe should guide dinner, not bully it. If it needs a little more acid, sweetness, salt or heat, make the change in small steps instead of launching the whole spice rack into orbit.

Substitutions

Use equivalent ingredients where needed for allergies or availability, but keep the main sweet/sour/salty/spicy balance intact. This is cooking, not a hostage negotiation.

Storage

Store in a clean airtight container in the refrigerator. Use a clean spoon each time because introducing mystery crumbs is how condiments develop side quests.

Freezing

Most dry seasonings do not need freezing. For wet sauces, freeze in small portions only if the ingredients tolerate it; creamy emulsions may separate after thawing.
