Crab Cake Sauce (Lemon Tarragon Mayonnaise)
Description
The Lemon Tarragon Mayonnaise is made by whisking together mayonnaise, finely chopped fresh tarragon, chives, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and kosher salt. The combination yields a smooth sauce with herbal freshness from tarragon and chive and a bright citrus tang from lemon juice. The mayonnaise base provides creaminess and body, balancing the acidity and herbs.
This sauce is served cold alongside crab cakes to add moisture and flavor contrast. It can also accompany other fried or grilled seafood dishes, acting as a tangy, herbaceous dip or spread. Chilling the sauce before serving allows the flavors to meld and makes it more refreshing.
