Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 20

Ingredients

1 serving nonstick olive oil cooking spray
½ pound fresh lump crabmeat
½ cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 egg
½ tablespoon low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 pound grass-fed lean ground beef
1 large egg
1 tablespoon low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper
¼ cup olive oil buttery spread
2 slices American cheese
1 potato rolls, split

Steps:

Preheat the oven or a toaster oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a toaster oven base pan with foil and spray the rack with nonstick olive oil spray.
Combine crabmeat and panko bread crumbs in a bowl; mix together.
Combine parsley, mayonnaise, egg, Worcestershire, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne for crab cakes in a separate bowl and mix thoroughly. Mix into crab mixture and form into two crab cakes; try to keep them compact and not too thick. Place on the prepared oven rack.
Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the crab cakes reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time. Remove from the oven and let sit on a wire rack.
Combine beef, egg, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper for burgers in a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Divide mixture into four equal parts and flatten until they are larger than the crab cakes.
Lay one flattened burger out and place one crab cake in the middle. Lay a second burger on top and pinch the edges completely around, sealing around the crab cake. Repeat for the second burger. Place crab cake burgers on the toaster oven rack and coat tops with olive oil spread.
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), or to desired doneness, about 15 minutes.
Top burgers with American cheese slices and serve on potato rolls.

Categories Fish

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 pound crabmeat
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (see Note)
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced chives
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco, or to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons unsalted butter

Steps:

1. Mix crab, egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard, lemon juice, celery seed, onion powder, pepper and hot sauce in a large bowl. Form into 6 patties. 2. Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the butter stops foaming. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.

Tips:

Choose fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat will have a sweet, delicate flavor and will be free of any off-putting odors. Avoid crab meat that is brown or discolored, or that has a slimy texture.
Use a variety of crab meat. Different types of crab meat have different flavors and textures. For example, blue crab meat is sweet and delicate, while Dungeness crab meat is more firm and flavorful. Using a variety of crab meat will give your crab cakes a more complex flavor.
Don't overmix the crab cakes. Overmixing the crab cakes will make them tough. Gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
Form the crab cakes into patties. Use a gentle touch when forming the crab cakes into patties. Don't pack the crab meat too tightly, or the crab cakes will be dense and heavy.
Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. Cooking the crab cakes over medium heat will help them to cook evenly without burning.
Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Crab cakes can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, remoulade sauce, or cocktail sauce.

Conclusion:

Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or sandwich. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect crab cakes at home. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish to enjoy, give crab cakes a try!
