CRAB CAKES WITH LEMON DILL SAUCE



Crab Cakes with Lemon Dill Sauce image

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons butter
1 reen onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Cayenne pepper
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1 pound white or claw crabmeat, picked free of any bits of shell
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
(about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the butter until the pepper is limp, about 3 minutes. Add the cream, mustard, and cayenne to taste, and mix well. Add 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs, the egg, and the parsley, and mix well. Gently fold in the crabmeat.
  • Form the mixture into 8 patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and the Parmesan in a bowl; pat this topping onto both sides of the patties. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Combine the oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet. Sauté the crab cakes in the hot oil-butter mixture for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Or, place the crab cakes on a baking sheet, drizzle with the oil and butter mixture, and bake at 400 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes, turning once.
  • Spoon a dollop of Lemon Dill Sauce alongside each crab cake, and serve the remaining sauce separately.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Refrigerate until chilled; the sauce will thicken as it chills.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned crab meat, but be sure to rinse it well and pick out any shells or cartilage.
  • Don't overcook the crab cakes. Crab cakes are best when they are cooked through but still moist. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Serve the crab cakes with a dipping sauce. A dipping sauce can help to enhance the flavor of the crab cakes. Some popular dipping sauces include lemon-dill sauce, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce.
  • Garnish the crab cakes with fresh herbs or lemon wedges. Fresh herbs or lemon wedges can help to add a pop of color and flavor to the crab cakes.

Conclusion:

Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them simple or dressed up, crab cakes are a surefire hit.
