Ingredients

1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
3/4 cup panko
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Softened unsalted butter, for the baking sheet
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons capers, chopped
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic, grated
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups panko
3 small green tomatoes, sliced into 9 rounds (see Cook's Note)
One 10-ounce package sweet slider buns
Store-bought pickled red onions, for serving
Bibb lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces, for serving

Steps:

For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, panko, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon, seafood seasoning, lemon zest and juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 30 minutes to firm up; this allows the panko to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
For the remoulade: Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, parsley, Dijon, capers, hot sauce, Worcestershire, paprika, cayenne, garlic, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the crab cakes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter.
Scoop 1/3-cup mounds of the crab mixture, pat into 1-inch-thick patties and place on the prepared baking sheet. You should have 9 patties. Bake until golden around the edges and heated through, about 205 minutes.
For the fried green tomatoes: Meanwhile, heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large Dutch oven or skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels or set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
Whisk together the flour, cayenne, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs in another shallow dish. Put the panko in a third shallow dish. Dip each tomato slice in the flour, then egg, then panko.
Fry the green tomatoes, flipping, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared plate or rack.
For serving: Split the slider buns. Put a fried green tomato on each bottom bun. Spoon some remoulade over each, add a crab cake and top with pickled red onions and Bibb lettuce. Close the sliders with the top buns.
