Chef John's Remoulade Sauce image

To make this simple remoulade sauce, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, pickles, minced garlic, capers, lemon juice, and a dash of cayenne. This version has some body to it. It's easy and so much better than store-bought versions. Try it with crab cakes or pretty much any grilled, broiled, or pan-seared fish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh crab meat, herbs, and lemon juice will give your sauce the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat: Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is opaque and flaky.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and that has a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Season the sauce to taste: The amount of lemon juice, dill, and salt and pepper you need will vary depending on your personal preferences. Taste the sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings until it is to your liking.
  • Serve the sauce immediately: The sauce is best served immediately after it is made. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but the flavor will be best if you serve it fresh.

Conclusion:

Lemon dill crab cake sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance the flavor of crab cakes, fish, and chicken. It is also a great dipping sauce for vegetables and crackers. With its bright and tangy flavor, lemon dill crab cake sauce is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
