Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup chopped dill pickles
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 pounds lump crabmeat, sorted through for cartilage and shell bits
Vegetable oil, for frying
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the tartar sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, pickles, scallions, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a medium bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Meanwhile, make the crab cakes: Mix the mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, lemon juice and Old Bay in a large bowl until combined. Add the panko and mix again. Add the crab and mix, taking care not to crush the meat. Shape the crab mixture into 8 patties, each about 3 inches in diameter. Cover and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a brown paper bag or a double layer of paper towels. Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet to come 1/2 inch up the side and heat over medium-high heat until the oil is hot but not smoking. Add the crab cakes in batches and cook until the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the cakes and continue cooking until golden, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the crab cakes to the lined baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while cooking the remaining cakes. Serve hot with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 crab cakes (6 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced cornichons (about 3 large) plus 2 teaspoons cornichon brine
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon minced scallion
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 1/2 pounds jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over to remove any cartilage or shell
8 scallions, green part only, minced (about 1/2 cup)
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 to 6 tablespoons plain dry breadcrumbs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground white pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the tartar sauce: Mix together the mayonnaise, cornichons and brine, parsley, tarragon, scallion and shallot in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until the flavors blend, at least 30 minutes (this can be refrigerated for several days).
  • For the crab cakes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently mix the crabmeat, scallions, mayonnaise, Old Bay, parsley, 4 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl, taking care not to break up the crab lumps. Season with white pepper and additional salt, if necessary, to taste. Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold in the eggs until the mixture just clings together. If necessary, add more breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Divide the crab mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each into a round cake, about 2 1/2 inches across and 1 inch high. Lay formed crab cakes on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes (these can be refrigerated up to 24 hours).
  • Put the flour on a plate or in a pie tin. Gently place the crab cakes, one by one, into the flour and dust all over with flour to lightly coat. Set the floured cakes on a wire rack.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Gently lay half of the floured crab cakes in the skillet and cook until the outsides are crisp and browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining crab cakes.
