5-Minute Dairy Free Creamy Lemon Sauce Recipe (for Chicken or Fish)

Jump To Recipe

lemon sauce recipeA sauce can totally make the meal and that’s just what this dairy free creamy lemon sauce recipe does, especially if you are serving chicken or fish. The bright, tangy flavor combined with the rich and creamy texture does wonders for making simply prepared proteins taste a bit more special. Best of all it takes no more than 5-minutes to make. All you have to do is put just eight ingredients in a high speed blender, whirl together and serve. It’s as easy as 1-2-3 😉

I initially created the creamy lemon sauce recipe for my gluten-free oven “fried” chicken but I now use it on everything from grilled fish to baked potatoes. It’s also a delicious and clean alternative to Hollandaise sauce when drizzled on asparagus, it makes a great alternative to mayonnaise as a sandwich spread and it’s the perfect dipping sauce for my clean chicken nugget recipe. 

Trust me, if you have the sauce ready made and sitting in your fridge you will find a use for it!

For those of you with food allergies and food sensitivities, it’s helpful to know the Creamy Lemon Sauce recipe meets the following dietary restrictions:

I started eating an anti-inflammatory clean diet in 1998 after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). At the time I was diagnosed, I was just 22 years old and eating clean was definitely not the "in" thing to do. But by cleaning up my diet and changing my plate, I really do believe I changed my fate. I have been symptom free of MS for almost two decades. Read My Story!

  1. This sounds so delicious, however I’m allergic to pine nuts (and all other nuts). What do you think I can use instead? sunflower seeds?
    Thanks!

    • Hi Josefin, I am so sorry for the lengthy delay getting back to you. I have just been completely swamped ever since the launch of the book and I am behind on just about everything (sigh…) But as for what to substitute, the sunflower seeds might work perfectly. I would suggest soaking them in water for at least an hour though, that should help soften them up significantly. Please let me know how it goes if you give it a try!
