How to Make Herb Baked Fish With Tartar Sauce

**Make the Tartar Sauce:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles, 1 tablespoon capers (drained), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Prepare the Fish: Grease a large sheet of aluminum foil with 1 tablespoon of softened butter.
Place 2 (6-ounce) fish fillets (cod, haddock, or similar) on the prepared foil. Dot each fillet with 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Drizzle each fillet with 1 tablespoon of dry white wine and 1/2 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
Scatter 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or thyme) over the fish.
Wrap the fish tightly in the foil, creating a sealed packet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is easily flaked with a fork.
Serve immediately with the chilled tartar sauce and your favorite sides, such as potato chips or a simple salad.
