Best 8 Wild Rice Crab Cakes Recipes

BROWN RICE CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• For the crab cakes: In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, rice, mayonnaise, scallions, Dijon, tarragon, seafood seasoning, egg and lemon zest and juice. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the breadcrumbs and stir them in. You should be able to make a crab cake that just holds together but is still a bit wet. If the mixture is too wet to hold together (and it might be, depending on how wet the crab and cooked rice are), stir in up to 1/4 cup more breadcrumbs.
• Using a small ice-cream scoop or tablespoon measure, scoop out the mixture by heaping tablespoons, then form each into a small cake and place the cakes on a sheet stray. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm them up.
• Heat the canola oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Spread about 1 cup breadcrumbs on a plate and lightly dredge the crab cakes in the breadcrumbs. Working in two batches, fry the crab cakes until golden on both sides and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain the first batch on paper towels and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the second batch. Season the crab cakes with salt.
• For the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, tarragon, basil, dill, lemon zest and juice. Season with salt.
• For serving: Serve the crab cakes alongside the aioli or place a dollop of aioli on each. Serve with lemon wedges.
