THE BEST CRAB CAKES
When we set out to make the "best" crab cakes, opinions in the test kitchen were strong and varied. But we could all agree on plenty of fresh, high-quality crabmeat with very little filler. After some tinkering, we created these decadent cakes-generously sized and highly seasoned-with plenty of lemon juice, fresh herbs and spices. The jumbo lump crabmeat is front and center, so splurge on the best and freshest you can find.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
- Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
- Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
- Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Melt 1 1/2 sticks butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté scallions and jalapeño about 2 minutes, until bright green. Add the heavy cream and heat to boiling. Stir over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard and pepper. Cool 5 minutes.
- Place the crabmeat in a large bowl. Gently stir in the scallion mixture. Form uniform cakes by placing spoonfuls of the crab mixture on a cookie sheet. Immediately place in refrigerator to harden, about 2 hours.
- When ready to serve, beat the eggs in a shallow bowl and place the bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working with half of the crab cakes at a time (keep remaining cakes in the refrigerator), dip each cake into the beaten eggs and coat with crumbs. Sauté until browned, 2 to 3 minutes on each side (turning cakes only once or they will break up). Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
