• Step 1: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
• Step 2: Taste the tartar sauce and adjust any seasonings as needed, adding more lemon juice for tanginess, salt and pepper for seasoning, or a touch of sugar if you prefer a slightly sweeter flavor profile.
• Step 3: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the tartar sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
