Everyone needs a good tartar sauce recipe up their sleeve. Living near Seattle fresh seafood is abundant and we all love a basket of fish and chips with tartar sauce on the side. But I’d never made a decent version at home, until I found this recipe! It’s super simple and we LOVE it. I usually sub some Greek yogurt for part of the mayo to lighten it up a bit- if you go half and half you don’t sacrifice on flavor. The fish pictured is the frozen breaded tilapia from Trader Joes– not my own, but awesome with this homemade tartar.

Tartar Sauce

INGREDIENTS

1 cup mayonnaise (I often use half mayo, half 2% plain greek yogurt and add a pinch of salt)
1 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. fresh dill, chopped (or 1/2 tsp. dried dill)
1 tsp. lemon juice (I’ve used pickle juice in a pinch)
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. finely chopped onion or chives (optional- I usually skip it)

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine everything in a small bowl and give it a good stir. Refrigerate until ready to use.
