Making your own is really easy. It’s fresh and amazing for these salmon cakes fish sticks or breaded fish fillets. See those fish sticks there – yeah, those are from Costco. Maybe one day, I’ll make my own fish sticks, but for now, these are really good (the Trident brand). Sometimes I find that I eat more tartar sauce than fish stick (sounds gross, but this sauce is THAT GOOD!). This recipe stays fresh in the fridge for a few days.
Ingredients for Tartar Sauce:
1 cup real Mayonnaise 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles 1 Tbsp dill (fresh or frozen), OR 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley 1 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp sugar 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper 2 Tbsp finely chopped onion is good too, but optional (I usually skip it)
How to Make Tartar Sauce:
This is really complicated so pay attention. Are you ready?… 1. Combine everything in a mixing bowl and give it a good stir.
