Notes

If you don't have dill, you can still use this delicious recipe, just swap the dill ingredient out for parsley, basil or tarragon.
If your sauce is too thin, you can continue cooking it over low-medium heat and whisk in a few tablespoons of cornstarch and cold water to thicken it up a bit. Always start with a little and add as needed.
If your sauce is too sour, then you probably just have a bit too much lemon juice in comparison to your other ingredients. Even that out by adding in a little more garlic, shallots, and white wine, then whisk together. Don't be afraid to taste your sauce while you cook to ensure you're getting the perfect flavors.
