Tips:

  • Opt for fresh ingredients: Use fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill, to elevate the flavor of your tartar sauce. Fresh lemon juice adds a vibrant acidity that complements the other ingredients well.
  • Choose high-quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of your tartar sauce, so it's important to choose a good one. Look for a brand that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid mayonnaise that contains a lot of added sugar or preservatives.
  • Add some heat: A little bit of heat can go a long way in enhancing the flavor of your tartar sauce. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a squirt of Sriracha sauce to give it a subtle kick.
  • Don't overmix: Overmixing the tartar sauce can make it lose its creamy texture. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let it chill: Allow the tartar sauce to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
