Crab Cake Sauce Recipes

CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Make chipotle mayo crab cakes sauce by combining the ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve. (This can be made several days in advance).
• In a mixing bowl add the crab meat, bell peppers, one beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, mayo, garlic, cilantro and salt and pepper. Gently stir just until blended.
• Refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to 5 hours.
• Beat the remaining egg and add to a shallow dish. Add the panko bread crumbs to another dish.
• Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mixture into your palm and flatten into a small disc, about 3 inches in diameter.
• Sprinkle the outsides of the crab cake patties with a tiny bit of cornstarch.
• Dip each patty lightly in the beaten egg, and then coat them lightly with panko bread crumbs. I try to avoid doing a thick coating of crumbs because I like the crab flavor to shine through as much as possible.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown on bottom.
• Gently flip to the other side and cook for another 3 minutes, or until golden. Remove to a plate. Serve warm with chipotle mayo sauce for dipping.

CRAB CAKES WITH REMOULADE 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.

MARYLAND CRAB CAKES WITH QUICK TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
• Combine the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, Old Bay, salt, celery, and parsley in a large bowl and mix well. Add the crab meat (be sure to check the meat for any hard and sharp cartilage) and panko; using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined, being careful not to shred the crab meat. Shape into 6 cakes (each about ½ cup) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps them set.
• Preheat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and coat with oil. When the oil is hot, place the crab cakes in the pan and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Be careful as oil may splatter. Serve the crab cakes warm with the tartar sauce.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, onion, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: The crab cakes can be formed, covered, and refrigerated a day ahead of time before cooking. The tartar sauce can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.
• Note: If you can only find jumbo lump crab meat, you may need to break the pieces up a bit. If the clumps are too large, the crab cakes won't hold together well.
• Note: The nutritional information does not include the tartar sauce.
