Tartar Sauce Recipe
Description
The tartar sauce is made by mixing mayonnaise with small diced yellow onions, chopped capers, and dill pickles, adding fresh parsley for herbal notes. The seasoning with cracked sea salt and black pepper enhances the flavors while maintaining a smooth, creamy texture. The acid and briny notes stem from the capers and pickles, creating a balanced sauce perfect for seafood.
This sauce is intended to be refrigerated and consumed within a week as it does not freeze well. It can be made with substitutions such as red onions, shallots, or sweet onions instead of yellow onions to slightly vary flavor.
The recipe emphasizes simplicity to allow the sauce to enhance but not mask the seafood it accompanies. It provides a classic tartar sauce suitable for serving with fried fish, seafood, or as a dipping sauce.
Key preparation involves combining ingredients until well blended, then chilling to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup yellow onion small diced
- 2 tablespoons caper finely chopped
- 1/3 cup dill pickle small diced
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
- sea salt cracked, to taste
- black pepper cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix until combined.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Store tartar sauce covered in the refrigerator and consume within 7 days as it does not freeze well.
- You may substitute yellow onions with red onions, shallots, or sweet onions according to preference.
- Keep the recipe simple to ensure it complements seafood without overpowering its flavor.
- The acidity from capers and pickles provides sufficient tang so no additional lemon juice is needed.
