For a smoother sauce, you can use a food processor or immersion blender to combine the ingredients after chilling. Be careful not to over-process. If you don't have fresh lemon juice, bottled lemon juice can be used, but fresh is highly recommended for the best flavor. Adjust the amount of red onion and garlic to suit your taste preferences. This tartar sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Consider adding a tablespoon of capers, finely chopped, for an extra burst of flavor.
