Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound lump crab meat*
1/2 cup bell pepper ((yellow, red, or a little of both), chopped)
2 large eggs (, separated)
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasonings
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
1 clove garlic (, minced)
1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro (, chopped)
salt and freshly ground black pepper (, to taste)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Panko bread crumbs
1 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons chives (, finely chopped)
2 cloves garlic (, minced)
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

AIR FRYER CRAB CAKES WITH CHIPOTLE SAUCE

Not overmixing and allowing the mixture to rest before cooking helped the crab cakes hold their shape better, as did cooking them in an air fryer. Serve these hearty morsels with creamy chipotle sauce and you'll have a decadent dinner in no time.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 large egg
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper (about 1 small bell pepper)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound fresh lump or jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
Nonstick cooking spray, for the air-fryer basket and crab cakes
Lemon wedges, for serving
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped, plus 2 teaspoons adobo sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the crab cakes: Whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, bell pepper, chives, parsley, lemon zest and juice, mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. With a rubber spatula or large spoon, very gently fold the crab and panko into the mixture. Try to avoid breaking up lumps of crab as much as possible. Cover the crab mixture with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day. This will allow the panko to absorb more liquid and help bind the crab cakes together better.
  • For the chipotle sauce: While the crab mixture is resting, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotles and adobo sauce, chives, parsley and lemon zest and juice in a small bowl until combined. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside. (The sauce can be refrigerated, covered with plastic wrap, up to 1 day.)
  • Just before cooking, divide the crab-cake mixture into 4 portions. Lightly compact each portion to form a patty (about 3 1/2 inches in diameter) with your hands to ensure they hold their shape while cooking and place onto a large plate.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F and spray the basket with cooking spray. Place the crab cakes into the basket and spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook until deep golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through and spraying again with cooking spray, about 16 minutes. Serve warm with chipotle sauce and lemon wedges.
