Dill is a fragrant herb with feathery leaves and a fresh, slightly tangy flavor, used in cooking for everything from pickles and sauces to soups, salads, and fish dishes, pairing especially well with potatoes, salmon, and yogurt. Both fresh dill (weed) and dried dill seeds are used, with the leaves adding a bright flavor to lighter dishes and the seeds providing a stronger, longer-lasting taste for pickling, baking, and rubs
