About This Tartar Sauce Dill Recipe
It is a perfect addition to go with our southern, country fried fish recipe under Main Courses. Also, here’s a list of some Salmon recipes that will work great with it.
Make Tartar Sauce with Dill Recipe Ingredients
These ingredients were altered over the decades. They were changed to do 2 things. They had to improve the flavor and extend the shelf life in the fridge. The store bought tartar sauce lasts a much longer time. So, make the quantity based on immediate meal planned for its usage. Also, an additional amount for a near-future planned dinner.
To last long enough for a second meal, dry onion powder replaced finely diced onions and it still tasted delicious. Minced onion doesn’t keep very long.
Minced garlic deters the pairing with most seafood dishes. So, it’s left out.
Lemon juice is included as it pairs extremely well with fish and coincidentally, that will also aid in help keeping longer in the fridge. As we all know, lemon juice by itself is great on a lot of seafood servings.
Diced dill pickles and dried dill weed are key ingredients. This evened out the overall dill flavoring. Also, this reduced tartness of the dill pickle. The dill weed adds the proper amount of dill flavor without over-doing the tartness of this pickle tartar sauce recipe.
What about using Capers?
While there are a few select recipes that may utilize the caper, this one does not. Capers can be strong and a number of people may not care for this addition.
Why do you use sweet relish?
A very small amount of sweet relish is an important ingredient. This is quick and easy to add, and it offers the sweet and tart combination to give it a good tasty, familiar flavor in the more typical tartar sauce. This helps with people who generally aren’t exceptionally fond of a lot of dill. In other words, this brings out a bit of balance.

Nutrition of Tartar Sauce Ingredients
These are simple ingredients and they do use fresh items for some of them. Some people will change this dill tartar sauce recipe and switch out the regular mayo with a light mayo or one that’s made with olive oil. Other will replace half of the mayo with a plain non-flavored yogurt or a light sour cream. The nutritional values are in the <Print Recipe> option.
How long can you keep this in the fridge?
Compared to a store-bought version in a plastic squeeze bottle, this won’t keep near as long. But, I’ve kept it as long as 2-3 weeks in a plastic food container or a mason jar. It’s still chunky and I’m so glad to know it’s there next time for another seafood dinner.
