Emeril's Tartar Sauce

Tartar Sauce:

1 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons chopped green onions or scallions (green part only)

2 tablespoons drained sweet pickle relish

1 tablespoon drained capers (chopped, if large)

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

In a bowl, fold together the ingredients. Adjust the seasoning, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, giving the sauce 1 hour to stand before serving for the flavors to blend. (Note: If using homemade mayonnaise, the tartar sauce must be refrigerated and used within 24 hours.)

Yield: about 1 1/4 cups
