Tartar sauce for fish patties
Description
Homemade sauce is simple and quick to prepare. Mustard is usually added to tartar sauce. However, in this case, since the sauce is made for fish patties, we do not add mustard to avoid overpowering the delicate flavor and aroma of the fish. Rosemary goes well with fish, so you can add a pinch of this fragrant herb to the sauce. You can also add a hint of lemon aroma and a slightly tangy taste by mixing in a few drops of lemon juice. The prepared sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.
