Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for frying
1/2 medium yellow onion, minced
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pound jumbo lump crab meat
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 slices bread, crusts removed, toasted and chopped into tiny pieces
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Zest of 1 lemon
Mixed salad greens, for serving
Remoulade Sauce, recipe follows
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Saute the onions until translucent and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the seafood seasoning and garlic and saute 1 minute longer. Let cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, salt, pepper, bread, egg, lemon zest and sauteed onions. Scoop the crab mixture using a 1/3-cup measure and form cakes (they may be slightly loose; see Cook's Note). Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the crab cakes in batches, adding more oil if needed, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve atop salad greens with a drizzle of Remoulade Sauce.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, capers, relish, mustard and lemon juice in a medium bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

CRAB CAKES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE



Crab Cakes with Remoulade Sauce image

The best crab cakes are freshly made and cooked in your skillet just until crunchy on the outside. The remoulade sauce is inspired by New Orleans cooking, and you can adjust the spice levels with more or less horseradish and Louisiana-style hot sauce. Crisp French fries make a great side, but you can go lighter with marinated green bean salad.

1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons ketchup
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon garlic granules
2 dashes hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 large egg, beaten
1 ½ teaspoons minced red onion
½ tablespoon minced Italian parsley

3 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
½ teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • To make crab cakes, combine mayonnaise, egg, red onion and parsley in a large bowl, stirring well with a fork.
