BROILED CRAB CAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Place an oven rack 5 inches beneath the broiler. Set the broiler to high.
• Prepare a baking sheet by lightly misting with olive oil or other nonstick spray.
• Drain the crabmeat, and dab it gently with a paper towel.
• Place the crab, egg, half and half, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard in a mixing bowl, and fold gently with a spatula, being careful not to break up the crabmeat.
• Crush the crackers to a coarse crumb.
• Add the cracker crumbs to the crabmeat mixture, and add a pinch of salt.
• Fold until well combined.
• Form four crab cakes, and place each on baking sheet.
• Top each crab cake with 1 teaspoon of butter.
• Broil the crab cakes for 3 minutes on the highest rack.
• Move the crab cakes to the lowest rack to prevent burning, and finish broiling another 3 minutes.
• Turn off the broiler, and let the crab cakes sit in the oven 1 more minute.
• Remove the crab cakes from the oven, and serve topped with optional lemon slices and fresh parsley.

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.

CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl mix together the egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, crab boil seasoning, and hot sauce. Stir in the bell pepper and scallion. Gently fold in the crab, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Put the remaining bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
• Divide the crab mixture into 8 mounds. Shape each mound into a round and coat in bread crumbs. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and flatten the crab cake to form a patty about 1-inch high. Repeat to form the remaining crab cakes.
• Bake until golden on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Gently flip the crab cakes and cook until the second side is golden, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
• Serve crab cakes with tartar sauce alongside.
• Spoon yogurt into a small bowl lined with paper towels. Place in the refrigerator until some of the liquid from the yogurt is released, about 30 minutes. Scoop thickened yogurt into a small bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
