Remoulade is a mayonnaise-based sauce of French origin often served with seafood. It can contain pickles, anchovies, and capers, and frequently features horseradish. It's popular featured in Louisiana cuisine, and a New Orleans-style remoulade sometimes contains chopped hard-boiled eggs.
This recipe is excellent alternative to tartar sauce or cocktail sauce. It's the classic addition to oyster or shrimp po' boy sandwiches, and it's great with other varieties of fried fish or seafood. It makes an excellent burger topping as well.

This version does not use horseradish, but feel free to add about 1 to 2 tablespoons if you'd like. The chopped cornichon pickles, capers, and mustard add fabulous flavor to the mayonnaise, and the flavor is similar to tartar sauce.
If you can't find cornichons, use chopped sour or dill pickles, or dill pickle relish.
