Homemade Tartar Sauce

 

fresh dill

I don’t usually bother to make my own tartar sauce, but last night I was feeling inspired so I tried out this old recipe from Food & Wine.

I must say it was totally worth the little extra effort.

The fresh herbs, cornichons and capers make this tartar sauce much tastier than store-bought, plus it only takes about 10 minutes to make.

Top a Wild Alaskan King Salmon Burger with a generous spoonful and save the leftovers for a tuna sandwich.
