CRAB/CLAM CAKE SLIDERS WITH EASY LEMON AIOLI



Crab/Clam Cake Sliders With Easy Lemon Aioli image

From a local publication. This time around I tested 'Fully Loaded Baked Potato' flavored Kettle Chips. Mmm! Description from the Kettle Chips' website: "This creamy, smoky, cheesy chip doesn't hold back on the flavor front. Dive into a collection of toppings straight from the baked potato bar - tangy sour cream, fresh green onion, rich cheddar cheese - and an all-natural smoky flavor."

Time 25m

Yield 10 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup mayonnaise, divided (I used an olive-oil based mayonnaise)
1 lemon, juice and zest of
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (replaced 1/4 teaspoon crushed dried thyme or you can use fresh parsley)
1 lb lump crabmeat (confession ( cheated and used 4 cans of Snow's minced clams, drained)
1 cup crushed kettle-cooked potato chips (read intro)
2 -3 tablespoons yellow onions, finely minced (optional, my addition)
1/4-1/3 cup minced celery (include some leaves)
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning (see Old Bay Seasoning #2, this can be omitted read my *NOTE below.)
2 eggs
10 slider buns
lettuce (optional)

Steps:

  • *NOTE: Depending on the flavor of the potato chips you choose, the Old Bay Seasoning can be omitted. For example, the first time I tried this recipe I tested 'Fully Loaded' Kettle Chips and I wanted those flavors highlighted. Also, if desired the cakes can be pan fried in either a little bit of oil or a combination of oil and butter.
  • Preheat oven to 350ยบ F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together *1/2 cup* of the mayonnaise, the lemon zest and juice, garlic, Dijon mustard and parsley. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat (canned or fresh), potato chips, celery, Old Bay seasoning, the remaining 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise, and the eggs. Cover bowl and refrigerate mixture for at least 30 minutes. Tip: Chilling is important because it firms up the mixture and makes it much easier to shape into patties.
  • Mix well, then form into 10 patties, each about 2 1/2 inches across and 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the patties on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the crab cakes for approximately 25 minutes rotating the pan as needed for even browning. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
  • Serve the crab cakes on buns with the aioli condiment. Add lettuce, if desired.
  • Reminder: Cooking time shown above is for pan frying.

Time 1h50m

Yield 15 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 14

18 mini potato buns
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing
1 large egg
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Kosher salt
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked through
10 strips bacon
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Freshly ground pepper
Diced red onion, sliced tomatoes and lettuce leaves, for topping
Pickles, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the crab cakes: Tear 3 buns into small pieces to make about 3/4 cup; put in a medium bowl. Whisk 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, the melted butter, egg, Old Bay, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt in another bowl. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the bun pieces and stir to combine; let sit 10 minutes, then gently fold in the crabmeat. Brush a baking sheet with butter. Tightly pack the crab mixture into 15 small patties and arrange on the prepared baking sheet; refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden and slightly crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Break each piece of bacon into thirds; set aside. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, the lemon zest and the reserved bacon drippings in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the broiler. Arrange the remaining 15 buns cut-side up on a baking sheet; brush with butter and broil until golden. Transfer the crab cakes to the broiler and cook, rotating the pan as needed, until golden and warmed through, about 6 minutes.
  • Spread the cut sides of the buns with some of the lemon mayonnaise. Sprinkle with diced red onion. Serve the crab cakes on the buns with tomatoes, lettuce and the bacon. Serve with pickles.
