Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound lump Dungeness crabmeat, drained
3 cups fresh bread crumbs, divided
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce
3 eggs, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups canola oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sweet chili sauce
2 teaspoons blood orange juice
Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons blood orange juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
8 cups baby arugula
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl add the crabmeat, 1 cup of the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, 1 egg, parsley, lemon juice, and salt and pepper, to taste, and gently combine. Divide the crab mixture into 6 equal patties and arrange on a sheet pan lined with waxed paper.
  • Set up a breading station using 3 baking dishes or pie plates. In the first dish combine the flour with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. In the second dish whisk together the remaining 2 eggs with 1/4 cup of water. In the third dish combine the remaining bread crumbs with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Dredged the crab cakes in the seasoned flour, then in the egg wash and then coat them thoroughly in the bread crumbs. Arrange on a sheet tray.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the cakes in batches of 6 until brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • In a small bowl whisk together all of the remoulade ingredients and set aside until ready to use.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the olive oil, blood orange juice and Dijon mustard. Add the arugula, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat.
  • To Serve:
  • Divide the salad equally between 6 plates. Top with a crab cake, drizzle with remoulade and serve.

The sauce was a bit too acidic for my taste. But the crabs cake themselves were delicious.

The flavor is on point and very crabby, but the mixture keeps falling apart when I try to flip it.

Not bad. It's a bit too much work to make a fancy dinner, but for a special occasion, it's worth a shot.
