Remoulade Sauce
Whisk together the mayo, ketchup, relish, mustard, lemon juice and hot sauce in a medium bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.


I substituted seasoned bread crumbs for crackers. Added a second egg. I used a whole medium onion. I used sriracha sauce. My meat I chose was bluegill. Used oil to fry in instead of butter.
I used an ice cream scoop with the release trigger so they'd be uniform. Made 10 cakes.
Absolutely delicious!!!
Crunchy on the outside yet moist on the inside.
