Dilly Tartar Sauce

A homemade tartar sauce with fresh lemon juice is a delicious accompaniment to breaded fish fillets. I serve this particular combination with Chip-Crusted Oven-Fried Catfish. For a more mildly flavored fish like flounder or tilapia, try substituting fresh parsley for the dill and adding a bit of lemon zest in addition to the juice.

  • Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 2 tablespoon dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 or 3 dashes Tabasco sauce (more to taste)
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation:
Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least a 1/2 hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

Makes approximately 3/4 cup
