Crab Cakes with Remoulade Sauce
- 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
- 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.
- Cook's Note: These crab cakes are loose to maintain the crab flavor.
- They will not be as tightly packed as other crab cakes and may fall apart a bit, but they taste awesome!
- You can also use a ring mold to pack them more tightly.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, capers, relish, mustard and lemon juice in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper.
