Tartar sauce built on omega-3 mayonnaise, red onion, lemon, and dill is the cold, tangy partner fried fish has been waiting for. It stirs together in two minutes and only improves with a rest in the fridge. Once you make it, jarred sauce is finished.

Pro Tips

• Mince the red onion very finely so its sharpness spreads through the sauce rather than landing in crunchy bursts.
• Chill the sauce before serving. The dill and garlic powder need the time to bloom into the mayo.
• Fresh lemon juice is non-negotiable here. It is the brightness that balances the rich omega-3 mayo.
• The paprika is subtle but it rounds the flavor and gives the sauce its warm tint.
• Make it up to a week ahead and keep it covered in the fridge for instant fish dinners.
