Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons butter
1 reen onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Cayenne pepper
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley

1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
(about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the butter until the pepper is limp, about 3 minutes.

  • Combine the oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet. Sauté the crab cakes in the hot oil-butter mixture for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Or, place the crab cakes on a baking sheet, drizzle with the oil and butter mixture, and bake at 400 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes, turning once.
  • Spoon a dollop of Lemon Dill Sauce alongside each crab cake, and serve the remaining sauce separately.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Refrigerate until chilled; the sauce will thicken as it chills.

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Refrigerate until chilled.
  • The sauce will thicken as it chills.
  • To prepare the crab cakes, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
  • Saute the onion, bell pepper, and garlic until the pepper is limp, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Add the cream, mustard, 1 egg, parsley, cayenne pepper and 1/2 cup bread crumbs, to taste, and mix well.
  • Gently fold in the crabmeat.
  • Form the mixture into 8 patties, about 1/2-inch thick.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of bread crumbs with the Parmesan.
  • Pat this topping onto both sides of the patties.
  • Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Using a skillet, combine the oil and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Saute the crab cakes in the hot oil-butter mixture for approximately 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • These crab cakes can also be baked for 7 to 10 minutes in a 400 degree F oven.
  • To serve, spoon a dollop of the lemon dill sauce along side each crab cake.
  • **Cook time doesn't include refrigeration of the crab cakes for approximately 2 hours to let them firm up.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality crab meat. Fresh crab meat will have a sweet, delicate flavor and will be free of any off-putting odors. You can find fresh crab meat at your local seafood market or online.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing the crab cakes will result in a tough, dense texture. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
  • Don't overcook the crab cakes. Crab cakes are best when they are cooked through but still tender and juicy. Cook the crab cakes over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Lemon dill sauce, tartar sauce, or remoulade are all great options.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's crab cakes with lemon dill sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. These crab cakes are made with fresh crab meat, bread crumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, and seasonings. They are then pan-fried until golden brown and served with a creamy lemon dill sauce. These crab cakes are perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. They are also a great way to use up leftover crab meat.
