This tartar sauce recipe is a delightful twist on the classic, perfect for pairing with seafood or as a tangy dip.
In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy mayonnaise and smooth Dijon mustard.
Use a whisk to ensure the mayonnaise and mustard are thoroughly blended for a smooth base.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and brined capers to the mixture.
Chop the capers finely for a more even distribution of flavor.
Finely chop the fresh scallion and parsley, then stir them into the bowl.
Use a sharp knife to finely chop the herbs for a better texture.
Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed for your preference.
Transfer the tartar sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling the sauce allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
