Hi, Cindyx. Nice to see you here. There was a long thread with tartar sauce recipes on it not long ago. Click the link below. No spell-check through Gardenweb.

Here is a link that might be useful: Tartar Sauce

Thanks everyone. Seems I did double post.Oh well, it'll take me a while to get the hang of the new boards I guess.

Cindy.....don't sweat the spelling....I don't LOL!
I do tartar sauce pretty much by the seat of my pants....as, of course, I do most things.
I begin with real Mayonaise...and to a cup of it I add about a tsp or a bit more of grated onion...
Then I add another tsp of well drained sweet pickle relish and the juice of 1/2 a lemon...
That's good for the kids....but for adults, I add a rounded teaspoon of capers and 1/2 tsp of wshire.....and maybe some Tobasco or cayenne pepper.

Wish I had some fish for dinner.......

I never make the traditional tarter sauce but there are two sauces I use that really good. One is for fish, such as salmon and salmon patties and the other is for on the Pacific Rim Chicken Burgers.

For fish:

Cucumber Dill Sauce for Fish
(Great with salmon or trout filets.)

1 cucumber; unpeeled
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dill (if fresh use 1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Cut cucumber in half and scoop out the seeds. Shred cucumber finely (or pulse in the food processor) and drain; combine with remaining ingredients. Chill to combine flavors. Serve with your favorite grilled or baked fish. Also good with salmon patties or crab cakes.

GINGER MAYONNAISE:

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
pinch of teaspoon salt

Combine and chill.

Here in Louisiana tartar sauce is usually quite simple---your favorite mayo with your favorite pickle relish(drained), finely minced onion and a little lemon juice. Some people added minced pimento stuffed olives also. No need to measure any thing. Just start with a little less mayo than the volume of tartar sauce desired and add the other ingridients until it " looks right" for you.
