Best Crab Cakes With Smoky Onion Remoulade Recipes

LUMP CRAB CAKES WITH COCKTAIL REMOULADE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse breadcrumbs; transfer to a large bowl. Add the crab, mayonnaise, green onions, lemon zest, Worcestershire, seafood seasoning, hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix gently to combine. Add the egg and mix gently but thoroughly.
• For the mixture into eight 3-inch-wide crab cakes. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set slightly.
• Melt 3 tablespoons of 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, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate and cover loosely with foil.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach, in batches if necessary, and cook, tossing, until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the spinach among four plates and top with the crab cakes. Serve with Cocktail Remoulade and lemon wedges.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, parsley, mustard, vinegar, capers, green onion and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. The remoulade keeps, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.

CRAB CAKES WITH SPICY REMOULADE

Steps:

• For the remoulade: Pulse the shallots and capers in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the mayonnaise, chives, mustard, smoked paprika, salt and pepper; pulse until well combined. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust. (The remoulade will keep, refrigerated, for 4 days. It is best made a day ahead.)
• For the crab cakes: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and peppers and saute until soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Let cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, chiles, crabmeat, 1 cup of the panko, mayonnaise, chives, parsley, salt, pepper and the cooled vegetables. Gently mix until well blended. Pack the crab mixture into a 1/4 cup measuring cup, then gently tap out into your hand and form into a patty. Place the patty on a baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the crab mixture. Spread the remaining 1 cup panko on a large plate. Dredge the crab cakes in panko on all sides.
• Melt another 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. When hot, add the crab cakes in batches, flattening them a bit with the back of a spatula. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Between batches, add another tablespoon of butter and olive oil to the pan.
• Place the browned crab cakes on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until sizzling and heated through.
• Serve the crab cakes with remoulade sauce on the side.
