Salmon Tacos with Caper-Dill Sauce are a unique fish taco recipe loaded with fresh herby flavors and the perfect creaminess.
So there I was, thinking about caper-y, dill-y salmon tacos.
And immediately before I admitted to myself how strange that may be, it dawned on me that this may be the best invention yet.
First off, it’s a taco. Major score.
Second off, it’s totally date food in the form of taco. And who needs date food? Everyone.
I know. You’re looking at me like, “Julia, I hate salmon.” To which I respond: “not today, you don’t!”
I love these tacos on so many levels, my typing fingers can barely keep up with my taco-loving brain. They’re flying right off the handle!
You know all about how I like to replace mayonnaise (gross-uh-naise) with plain yogurt and turn it into glorious sauces.
That’s what I did! I did just that! Mixed up some plain yogurt with capers, dill, lemon zest and lemon juice and whamo!
Easy to fix and tasted amazing. The Dill and Capers go so well together.
I used Greek plain yogurt.
Wahooo! So glad you made and enjoyed the tacos! Thanks for being my official taste tester, Jen!

These sound awesome! I love salmon and fish tacos, and the caper sauce sounds like the perfect touch.
Whoa, these tacos are blowing my mind! In a “OMGGIMMEALLTHATYUM” kind of way, of course 🙂
Just mouthwatering….looks delicious!
These are probably better date night food than the smokey, slightly spicy chili that we had tonight. Not exactly a date night, but coming home from work to dinner already made by the man-cakes sure reminded me of why I let him live here — I mean, why I fell in love with him. 😉
I love the wacky combos your brain dreams up.
Salmon and dill is just such an awesome combo – this sounds lovely.
Such an unusual combination in a taco but as Salmon and Dill go so well together I can imagine a taco is just another fantastic vehicle to get this into your mouth! Yum!
Salmon and dill, yum. Salmon and capers, yum. Salmon and dill and capers, super yummy! Salmon and dill and capers in a taco…supercalifragilisticexpealidocious!!!
I love salmon with dill. These are my kind of tacos…love the sauce!
So, it took me a few minutes to wrap my head around these tacos….but it happened, and I’m totally down with these bad boys! Time for a taco par-tay!
I love salmon in taco form. Only had it once, but it was awesome. I love how meaty it is and still really nice and tender! And your sauce sounds awesome – can’t wait to try it!
I’m thinking that this is, indeed, an interesting taco. And, since I’m an open minded kind of gal, I’m gonna try this recipe. I love salmon, so why not squeeze it into a glorious handheld shell, right? Exactly. Bravo, Julia.
I’m obsessed with salmon and dill. Lovely recipe as always!
Oh, man. Jerry would love these. Once he can start eating again (hopefully, soon), I need to make these for him. Won’t be a date night, because sure as heck, I would end up with the yogurt spilling out of the taco and ending up on my shirt. Yeah. Dates for me were best without dinner. It’s sad.
Salmon and dill are favorites of mine, but I have never tried capers. I have not idea what the even taste like, but they look pretty awesome on this taco and I sure do love tacos! Obviously, I have to give these a try! YUM.
Oh capers are little locks of love, my friend. They’re kind of sour/vinegar-y tasting and go really well with anything creamy/lemon-y. If you like things that are briny, like pickles, you’ll take to capers like white on rice! 😉
