Notes:

Mayonnaise forms the rich and creamy base of the sauce, and both store-bought or homemade mayonnaise work wonderfully.

Capers add a delightful briny punch, though they can be adjusted or omitted according to personal preference.

Fresh dill provides a vibrant herbal note, but dried dill can be used as an easy substitute if fresh herbs are unavailable.

A small splash of Worcestershire sauce and a hint of Dijon mustard add extra depth, zest, and complexity to the flavour profile.

Allow the tartar sauce to rest in the refrigerator before serving, as the flavours mingle and improve significantly over time.

Combine Base
Place mayonnaise into a mixing bowl as the creamy foundation for the sauce.

Add Mix-ins
Stir in the chopped capers, freshly chopped dill, freshly squeezed lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.

Season and Mix
Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste, then stir everything together until completely well combined.

Chill and Serve
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a short while to let the flavours develop before serving alongside your favourite seafood.
