We made this while "camping" and have since incorporated it into regular fare. Easy, adaptable to most fish (we've come to favor sustainable catfish). I've never made with cornichons, and haven't missed them.
Blackened Halibut with Remoulade
A creamy mayonnaise-based sauce balances the highly seasoned fish. If you can't find cornichons, substitute chopped dill pickle in the sauce.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and 2 tablespoons sauce)
