Dijon Sauce For Crab Cakes 3 Ingredients Food

MINI CRAB CAKES WITH MUSTARD CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• For the mustard creme fraiche: Mix together the creme fraiche, whole-grain mustard, Dijon and seafood seasoning in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the mini crab cakes: Pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse breadcrumbs; transfer to a large bowl. Add the crab, mayonnaise, lemon zest, Worcestershire, seafood seasoning, cayenne, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix gently to combine. Add the egg and mix gently but thoroughly. Roll the mixture into about 15 golf ball-sized rounds, then arrange them on a foil-lined baking sheet and flatten them slightly. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to set.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes, in batches if necessary, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Arrange the crab cakes on a serving platter and serve with the mustard creme fraiche dolloped on top or in a small bowl on the side. Sprinkle with the chives and serve with lemon wedges.

THE BEST CRAB CAKES

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.
