Maryland Crab Cakes With Caper Sauce Recipes

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.

Steps:

• for caper sauce:
• Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• for crab cakes:
• Combine crabmeat, 1 cup breadcrumbs, and next five ingredients in large bowl. Spread 2 1/2 cups breadcrumbs on rimmed baking sheet. Using 1/4-cup capacity ice-cream scoop, form crab mixture into 24 small balls. Flatten slightly. Coat crab cakes in breadcrumbs, transfer to another baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Heat 1/2 cup oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry crab cakes until brown, adding more oil to skillet as needed, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer 2 crab cakes to each of 12 plates. Serve, passing caper sauce alongside.

Steps:

• Carefully pick through the crab meat to remove any cartilage.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, bread crumbs, Old Bay Seasoning, lemon zest,parsley, Dijon mustard and mayonnaise.
• Carefully fold in the crab meat, cover and refrigerate.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, capers, relish and shallots. Cover and refrigerate.
• Adjust the top oven rack so that it is about 8 inches away from the broiler and preheat the broiler to to medium high.
• Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Shape the crab meat mixture into 4 cakes and place them on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Broil the crab cakes until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Turn the oven to 350°F until the crab cakes are warmed through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Serve each cake with a generous dollop of tartar sauce.

Steps:

• To make sauce, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk well. Cover and hold in refrigerator.
• To make crab cakes, combine mayonnaise, egg, red onion and parsley in a large bowl, stirring well with a fork.
• Add crab, 1 cup bread crumbs, seafood seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne. Stir until combined; the mixture will be fairly loose and wet.
• Shape mixture into 8 patties of equal size. Coat each patty in remaining bread crumbs to make a crust.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat and cook patties for about 8 minutes, turning just once about halfway through cooking, just until uniformly golden brown.
• Meanwhile, brush hamburger buns with melted butter and toast at 400 degrees F just until they begin to brown at edges.
• To serve, place patty on each bun, top with remoulade sauce and desired trimmings. Serve with extra sauce and lemon wedges on the table.

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside. Keeping each pound of crabmeat separate, turn out onto paper towels; pick through to remove any shells or cartilage.
• In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, egg, mustard, Old Bay, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Add crumbs and small-size crabmeat to mayonnaise mixture; stir well to combine. Gently fold in large-size crabmeat to mayonnaise mixture just until combined. Dividing evenly, form mixture into 8 cakes. To make ahead, see Cook's Notes.
• Place cakes on prepared baking sheet; drizzle with melted butter. Broil until golden brown and warmed throughout, 12 to 15 minutes (move to lower shelf if tops brown too quickly). Serve with tarter sauce and lemon wedges.
