Easy Tartar Sauce with Pickles and CapersPin itFollow us 148.4k

This tartar sauce (or tartare as we call it in Australia) makes the perfect accompaniment to fish, burgers and even roasted low-carb veggies. There's nothing better that I love on a lazy summers night to grill some fresh fish, and serve it over greens with a dollop of this deliciously creamy, tangy sauce.

I’ve used some freshly chopped cilantro (coriander) in mine but any fresh summery herbs like parsley, dill or chives would work well in this sauce. You can use any mayo for this recipe but if you can, use mayo made with healthy fats such as avocado, macadamia or walnut oil, or even light tasting olive oil.

Can't believe how easy this tartar sauce is. I love the idea of pairing it with grilled fish! Do you recommend another herb if i don't have parsley on hand?

Thank you! You could try dill or chives instead, these would be the best alternatives.
