For a richer flavor, substitute the cream cheese with crème fraîche or mascarpone. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but use half the amount (2 tablespoons). To add a touch of heat, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes into the lemon-pepper seasoning or directly into the sauce.
