You’ll never go back to jarred once you master this simple Bobby Flay Tartar Sauce recipe. Its bright, creamy tanginess makes even the most mundane seafood, like fish sticks and fish and chips, taste amazing.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • cup finely chopped dill pickle or relish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice plus more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped capers
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chopped chives or ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon each salt and pepper plus more to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use, at least 30 minutes for the finest flavor. When ready to use, taste and adjust with more lemon juice, capers, pickles, salt, or pepper to taste. The only way it won’t taste right is if you don’t experiment with it to make it your own.
  • Refrigerate for up to 7 days, securely wrapped in plastic wrap.

Notes

  • Modify As Desired. This is such a basic recipe that it’s impossible to make a mistake. The only way it won’t be to your liking is if you don’t experiment with it. You may adjust the seasonings to your liking by adding more or less of anything, including pickles, capers, lemon juice, dill, etc.
  • Finely Chop The Ingredients. Ingredients that are finely diced are distributed more uniformly throughout the sauce.
  • Put In The Fridge To Chill. The flavors will really pop if you let the sauce at least 30 minutes in the fridge before serving and overnight is even better.
