CRAB CAKES WITH REMOULADE SAUCE
The best crab cakes are freshly made and cooked in your skillet just until crunchy on the outside. The remoulade sauce is inspired by New Orleans cooking, and you can adjust the spice levels with more or less horseradish and Louisiana-style hot sauce. Crisp French fries make a great side, but you can go lighter with marinated green bean salad.

Steps:
- To make sauce, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk well. Cover and hold in refrigerator.
- To make crab cakes, combine mayonnaise, egg, red onion and parsley in a large bowl, stirring well with a fork.
- Add crab, 1 cup bread crumbs, seafood seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne. Stir until combined; the mixture will be fairly loose and wet.
- Shape mixture into 8 patties of equal size. Coat each patty in remaining bread crumbs to make a crust.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat and cook patties for about 8 minutes, turning just once about halfway through cooking, just until uniformly golden brown.
- Meanwhile, brush hamburger buns with melted butter and toast at 400 degrees F just until they begin to brown at edges.
- To serve, place patty on each bun, top with remoulade sauce and desired trimmings. Serve with extra sauce and lemon wedges on the table.

EASY GLUTEN FREE CRAB CAKES WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER REMOULADE
Steps:
- Place crab meat on paper towels and allow any water to drain off. Be careful not to break up the large chunks.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and add in mayo, egg, dijon, lemon juice, Worcestershire, Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Add in parsley, green onion, and panko and stir with a spatula.
- Last, gently fold in the crab meat using the spatula. Be really careful to keep the large pieces intact.
- Once it is well-mixed, press it down just a bit into an even layer, cover, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. This will allow the mixture to set up so the crab cakes will hold together during the cooking process.
- After 1-2 hours in the fridge, remove the crab mixture.
- If your oven is slow to heat up, go ahead and set your broiler to high now.
- Heat 2-3 Tbsp butter or avocado oil in a large cast iron skillet or other oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- While the pan is heating up, form the crab mixture into 6 crab cakes. I like to use a 1/2 cup measure to scoop it out, press it gently into the measuring cup to compact it just a bit, then remove it, shape a little more with my hands, then place it on a sheet of parchment paper.
- Once the pan is hot, carefully place the crab cakes in the pan, spacing them evenly.
- Allow to cook for 5 minutes.
- Using a pastry brush, VERY gently dab some of the oil from the pan onto the tops of the crab cakes. If you're using butter, you can place a thin slice of butter on top of each crab cake instead (saving you from potentially breaking the crab cake apart while dabbing it with the pastry brush). And if you have avocado oil in a spray form then this would be the perfect time to use that! Just quickly spray the tops of the crab cakes.
- Now move the skillet to the oven and broil on high until the tops are nicely browned (about 5-10 minutes, depending on your oven). Just keep an eye on them so they don't burn!
- Serve immediately with remoulade and lemon wedges.
- While the crab cakes are chilling in the refrigerator you can make the remoulade.
- Using a food processor, blender, or stick blender, blend together all of the ingredients until smooth. That's it!
- Pour in serving dish, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:
- Place cracker meal in a bowl and make a well in the center of the meal. Beat egg with milk and pour into well. Moisten cracker meal and combine liquid with meal using the tines of a fork. Add crab meat, crab boil seasoning, baking powder, parsley, lemon zest, celery, Worcestershire, hot pepper sauce, and mayonnaise to the bowl. Mix all ingredients well and form into 8 (3-inch) patties. Add 1/2-inch vegetable or canola oil to a skillet and heat to medium high temperature. Fry cakes 3 minutes on each side and drain on paper towel lined plate. Cook 4 cakes at a time, so that oil temp does not drop too low.
- For red pepper sauce, combine drained red peppers in a food processor bowl with mayonnaise and chili sauce. Pulse/grind the ingredients into a smooth sauce. Transfer sauce to a small serving dish.
- Serve crab cakes with sauce and lemon wedges.

ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE FOR CRAB CAKES
Also good on grilled fish and grilled chicken. Different from those posted here already and easy, made with ingredients you probably keep on hand: jar roasted red peppers, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper sauce, mayo and salt and pepper. You can use low fat mayo to cut calories. For about 10 crab cakes, using 1 lb. crab, you may want to make half the recipe. We had a lot left over.

Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Be gentle when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing will make them tough.
- If you don't have Old Bay seasoning, you can substitute a mixture of celery salt, paprika, and black pepper.
- To make sure the crab cakes are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the center of one of the cakes. It should read 165°F.
- Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Remoulade sauce is a classic choice, but you could also try tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or even a simple lemon wedge.
