1 tablespoon olive oil plus additional for brushing
1/2 cup diced (1/8-inch) onion

1 teaspoon finely chopped shallot
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo
1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/8 lb jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Pulse all sauce ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and chill, covered, until ready to use.
  • Sprinkle saffron into water in a 1-quart heavy saucepan and boil over moderately high heat until liquid is reduced to 1 tablespoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl, then cool completely.
  • Heat oil (1 tablespoon) in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onion, carrot, and celery, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly brush parchment with oil.
  • Whisk together 1 egg, cream, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Lightly beat remaining egg and stir into shrimp and vegetable mixture along with shrimp purée, then fold in crabmeat until just combined.

Flatten tops gently to form 2 1/2-inch-wide cakes (about 1 inch high) and bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes total.

SAFFRON SALMON'S DUNGENESS CRAB CAKES



Saffron Salmon's Dungeness Crab Cakes image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h

Yield about 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
2 green onions, diced
12 ounces small white prawns, peeled and deveined
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup cocktail sauce
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 1/2 pounds fresh picked Dungeness crab meat
1 3/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 1/2 cups shrimp puree binding sauce
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup flour
3 ounces clarified butter

Steps:

  • For the binding sauce: In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, parsley leaves, lemon juice, capers, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish and green onions. Mix for about 1 minute.
  • For the shrimp puree: In the clean bowl of the food processor, puree the prawns until smooth. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp puree with half the binding sauce. Mix well.
  • For the remoulade: In the clean bowl of the food processor, combine the cocktail sauce, sun-dried tomatoes and hot sauce with the remainder of the binding sauce and blend for 1 minute until well mixed. Set aside.
  • For the crab cakes: Fold all of the crab into the shrimp puree mixture. Mix in 3/4 cup panko. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • In 3 separate bowls, place the beaten eggs, flour and remaining 1 cup panko. Divide the crab cake mixture into 6 balls. Form each ball into a cake that is approximately 1-inch thick, using a dry measuring cup as an aid. One at a time, dip each cake first into the flour, then the egg and then the panko. You may need a little more panko to get them well coated.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a large, ovenproof skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat and brown the crab cakes evenly on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. If the heat is too hot, adjust it down a little. Transfer the crab cakes to the oven and bake to cook through, about 10 minutes. Turn over as needed so the crab cakes do not brown too much on one side.
  • Serve the hot crab cakes with the sun-dried tomato remoulade.

PERFECT CRAB CAKES (CHESAPEAKE BAY STYLE) WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE



Perfect Crab Cakes (Chesapeake Bay Style) With Lemon Vinaigrette image

These crab cakes are the best - no fillers, no gimmicks so don't use imitation. Splurge for the good stuff and you won't regret it. Except for the crab, you can really add the rest of the ingredients to taste. Instead of doubling or tripling the recipe, make several batches to ensure the crab is seasoned properly. This recipe will make about 6 dinner sized crab cakes (or crab cake sandwiches!) but also delicious mini hors d'oeuvres. Serve with the mixed greens and lemon vinaigrette and cole slaw. Or serve on buns with tartar sauce for crab cakes sandwiches!
