Adding "UseRecommends "false"; to synaptic.conf only fixed it for the next time I started Synaptic, then it was ignored again.

However, adding a new file to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d named for example "02recommend" with the content

APT "" {
  Install-Recommends "false";
};

disables the option permanentely and removes the tick in the preferences.
