Saffron Salmon's Dungeness Crab Cakes image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h

Yield about 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
2 green onions, diced
12 ounces small white prawns, peeled and deveined
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup cocktail sauce
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 1/2 pounds fresh picked Dungeness crab meat
1 3/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 1/2 cups shrimp puree binding sauce
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup flour
3 ounces clarified butter

Steps:

  • For the binding sauce: In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, parsley leaves, lemon juice, capers, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish and green onions. Mix for about 1 minute.
  • For the shrimp puree: In the clean bowl of the food processor, puree the prawns until smooth. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp puree with half the binding sauce. Mix well.
  • For the remoulade: In the clean bowl of the food processor, combine the cocktail sauce, sun-dried tomatoes and hot sauce with the remainder of the binding sauce and blend for 1 minute until well mixed. Set aside.
  • For the crab cakes: Fold all of the crab into the shrimp puree mixture. Mix in 3/4 cup panko. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • In 3 separate bowls, place the beaten eggs, flour and remaining 1 cup panko. Divide the crab cake mixture into 6 balls. Form each ball into a cake that is approximately 1-inch thick, using a dry measuring cup as an aid. One at a time, dip each cake first into the flour, then the egg and then the panko. You may need a little more panko to get them well coated.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a large, ovenproof skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat and brown the crab cakes evenly on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. If the heat is too hot, adjust it down a little. Transfer the crab cakes to the oven and bake to cook through, about 10 minutes. Turn over as needed so the crab cakes do not brown too much on one side.
  • Serve the hot crab cakes with the sun-dried tomato remoulade.

CRABMEAT OR SALMON PATTIES



Crabmeat or Salmon Patties image

These are from the Sunset Seafood cookbook (1985). The recipe is written for crab, but we've been subbing canned salmon in them for years. We like them with Vegan Fried Celery & Cabbage (Recipe #21095) on the side.

Provided by OliveLover

Categories     Crab

Time 25m

Yield 8 patteis, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

20 saltine crackers, crumbled, enough to make 1 cup, whole wheat work great
2 (7 1/2 ounce) cans each crabmeat or 2 (7 1/2 ounce) cans each red salmon, drained well
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or to taste)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons butter (or more, if you like things rich)
chopped parsley (to garnish)
4 lemon wedges (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Finely crumble crackers into a bowl; you should have 1 cup of coarse meal. Flake crab meat or salmon into bowl with crumbs, breaking up any skin and bones if using the salmon (or remove them if you prefer). Add Worcestershire, hot sauce, parsley, mustard, and mayonnaise. Mix until blended. Add egg and blend well.
  • Shape mixture into 8 patties. Lay them on waxed paper or parchment near the frying pan. In a frying pan (I prefer cast iron), melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Cook 4 patties until browned, about 3 minutes. Add another 1/2 tablespoon of butter, turn and brown the other side. Repeat with the remaining butter and patties. You can keep the first batch warm in the oven.
  • To plate, sprinkle patties with chopped parsley; serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality crab and salmon. Fresh or frozen crab and salmon fillets work well in these cakes.
  • Flake the crab and salmon into small pieces. This will help to ensure that the cakes are evenly cooked.
  • Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the cakes. Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce are all good options.
  • Do not overmix the cakes. Overmixing will make the cakes tough.
  • Cook the cakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or lemon wedges are all good options.

Conclusion:

Crab and salmon cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make crab and salmon cakes that are sure to impress your family and friends.
