Yield Makes about 40

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup minced green onions
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup minced fresh basil
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 pound crabmeat, picked over
3 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless French bread
2 large egg yolks, beaten to blend
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Chive and Caper Sauce
40 small basil sprigs

Steps:

  • Mix first 7 ingredients in medium bowl. Add crabmeat; toss. Fold in 1 cup breadcrumbs. Season with pepper. Mix in yolks.
  • Place 2 cups breadcrumbs on plate. Using 1 tablespoon crab mixture for each, form 1-inch-diameter patties. Coat each crab cake with breadcrumbs. Cover; chill at least 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
  • Position rack 6 inches below broiler and preheat broiler. Brush 2 baking sheets with oil. Arrange crab cakes on baking sheets, spacing evenly. Broil until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. (Can be cooked 30 minutes before serving. Keep warm in 300°F. oven.)
  • Transfer crab cakes to platter. Top each with dollop of sauce and basil sprig.

Tips:

  • Fresh crabmeat is the key to delicious crab cakes. If you can't find fresh crabmeat, frozen crabmeat is a good substitute.
  • Be sure to remove all of the shells and cartilage from the crabmeat before using it.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing will make them tough.
  • Form the crab cakes into 1-inch thick patties.
  • Broil the crab cakes for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or remoulade.

Conclusion:

Broiled crab cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create delicious crab cakes that your whole family will love.
