Our Fish Taco Sauce Recipe is quick, easy, and the perfect way to add a little, creamy, tangy kick to fish tacos or sandwiches. It makes a wonderful fry sauce as well.
Have you ever had Mahi fish tacos? They are one of my favorite seafood dishes. Quick, simple and fresh. I love the meatiness of the fish, the soft tortillas, the crisp slaw, and best of all the taco sauce.
It can be difficult to find the right sauce for your sandwiches and tacos. However, this fish taco sauce recipe with mayo adds a tangy kick of lemon to cut through any heavy fish. We hope you try it the next time your craving a condiment with some zip.
Instructions for making our Fish Taco Sauce Recipe:
- First, in a large mixing bowl, add the mayo, lemon juice, and all the spices.
- Next, use a fork or a whisk to whip the ingredients together.
- Last, serve the easy fish taco sauce immediately or store in a sealed container in your fridge.
It only takes about 5-10 minutes to make and you’re done! It will last about 3-4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Tips:
- As it’s stored in your fridge, the flavors will become more intense.
- Use this sauce on Fiesta Fridays to create delicious Baja tacos.
- This easy fish taco sauce can also be used as a tangy slaw dressing or as a dipping sauce for fries.

Thanks, Chelsea! I hope you love the sauce 🙂
I love Mahi Mahi – it’s one of my favorite types of fish! This sauce looks like a nice way to spice it up. Yum!
Thank you for commenting, Marlynn! Mahi Mahi fish tacos are a staple in our home and we use this sauce everytime lol!
I like the combination of spices! That would be a nice sauce with any mild white fish.
Thanks, Anne! You’re absolutely right. This sauce pairs well with a white fish. Mahi Mahi is one of my favorites. 🙂
This sauce looks so addicting! I can’t wait to try it!
Thank you, Madi! We hope you enjoy it 🙂
What a great spices.l combo! I bet this sauce tastes delicious with just about anything!
Thank you, Andrea! We’re glad you like the spice combination 🙂
Fish tacos are my #1 craving right now. So light and fresh and great for hot, humid nights. As much as I love tacos, I am ALL about condiments. If there’s not some sort of sauce on my taco it’s disappointing. Can’t wait to try this new sauce on Tuesday!
Thank you, Lauren! Kim and I hope you enjoy the sauce. 🙂
Love the spices you used for this sauce! I’m not a big mayo fan so i’ll swap it out for Greek yogurt instead. Can’t wait to try it. Also, Fiesta Friday’s?! I’ve never heard of that but I like it better then taco Tuesday’s!
Thank you, Jennifer! LOL, it was kind of an “on-the-fly,” label for Fridays. Besides, it seems like Taco Tuesday restricts you to just tacos, why not celebrate all things Tex-Mex? Have a great day 🙂
What a great combination of flavours, I love fish tacos and make them regularly for my family so this would go down a treat in my house.
Thank you, Michelle! We hope you decide to make it sometime for your family 🙂
Crab dip happens to be one of my favorite recipes so I can absolutely see this fish sauce on my table!
Thank you, Femi! We hope you enjoy the recipe. 🙂
Omgosh, I wish I had this with my tacos last week. We have a street food truck park in New Orleans and they are totally missing this creamy sauce. Wish I had this sooner!
Thank you, Jessica! Kim and I hope you enjoy the sauce the next time you eat the tacos 🙂
I’m so not ready for Cinco de Mayo to be over! I think I’m going to keep the party going this week by making up some tacos that are slathered in this flavorful sauce!
Thank you, Rachel! We hope you make it last and wish you a wonderful week. 🙂
I love me some fish tacos and this sauce looks wicked good!!! The flavor combinations look perfect. Can’t wait to try this yummy recipe.
Thank you, Katie1 Us too, Kim and I hope you enjoy the sauce. 🙂
Oh my, this is definitely happening in my house! I’ve been wanting to change up our fish taco routine a little, and this absolutely nails it – such great flavors!
Thank you, Monica! Kim and I know what you mean, sometimes you have to change things up a bit. Enjoy the sauce 🙂
This sauce looks great! Make some fish tacos so I can serve up this excellent sauce!
Thank you, Ben! Kim and I hope you enjoy the sauce 🙂
Love it. I did use 1/2 sour cream in place of half of the mayo. Great recipe! Thank you for posting it!
Hi Joline!
Thanks so much for giving it a try! Using 1/2 sour cream is a great idea. We’re glad you enjoyed the taco sauce and stopped by to leave feedback. Have a great weekend!
