What Is Remoulade Sauce?

Typically, no one actually knows what it is called, and it is often referred to as the orange sauce that goes with the crab cakes. (which is what a reader asked me) Remoulade Sauce is a French sauce that tastes almost like tartar sauce with the same base ingredients of mayonnaise, herbs, dill pickles, and capers.

But when Remoulade Sauce came to America, we started to add creole seasoning and hot sauce. You add a deep orange to the sauce during the white sauce, depending on how much hot sauce and seasonings you add.

This is a perfect sauce that you can serve alongside air fryer salmon cakes, Air Fryer French fries, fresh lump crab meat, Blue Crabs, or Maryland crab cakes
