How to Make Lemony Tartar Sauce

  1. In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped dill, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon capers (drained), 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots, 1 small clove garlic (minced), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped and evenly combined. Do not over-process; you want some texture.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This also helps the sauce thicken slightly.
  5. Serve chilled with your favorite fish dish!
