CRAB CAKES WITH GREEN ONION AND DILL
Steps:
- Mix 2 cups breadcrumbs, crabmeat, onion, dill, and Old Bay seasoning in large bowl until well combined. Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Stir in egg. Form mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties. Place remaining 1 cup breadcrumbs on plate. Coat crab cakes with breadcrumbs. Transfer to baking sheet. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. In 2 batches, sauté crab cakes until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat is a good substitute.
- Don't overmix the crab cakes. Overmixing the crab cakes will make them tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use a light hand when forming the crab cakes. Don't pack the crab cakes too tightly, or they will be dense and heavy.
- Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. Cooking the crab cakes over high heat will make them brown too quickly on the outside and leave them raw on the inside.
- Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for crab cakes include tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and remoulade.
Conclusion:
Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect crab cakes at home.
