Why This Recipe Works

Rémoulade is a traditional Creole accompaniment to all manner of fish dishes. While many versions we found contained a wide range of ingredients, our Quick Rémoulade recipe uses refrigerator staples that took just minutes to pull together. We kept it simple by adding just pickles and scallions to a mayonnaise and whole-grain mustard base. For extra dimension, we added tart lemon juice and fiery cayenne pepper.
