THE BEST CRAB CAKES
When we set out to make the "best" crab cakes, opinions in the test kitchen were strong and varied. But we could all agree on plenty of fresh, high-quality crabmeat with very little filler. After some tinkering, we created these decadent cakes-generously sized and highly seasoned-with plenty of lemon juice, fresh herbs and spices. The jumbo lump crabmeat is front and center, so splurge on the best and freshest you can find.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
- Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
- Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
- Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Melt the 2 tablespoons butter in a saute pan over LOW-MEDIUM heat.
- Add the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, whisking together to make a bloud roux.
- Gradually add the cream. Keep whisking the mixture to avoid lumps. Simmer this bechamel sauce until it's reduced to about 1 cup. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Carefully pick through the crabmeat and make sure there are no bits of shell. Add the crabmeat to the bechamel sauce.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in another small pan and saute the onions until translucent.
- Place Ritz crackers in a small plastic bag, zip close (removing all air), and then crush into crumbs with your hands or a rolling pin.
- Add the onions to the sauce, then stir in cracker crumbs. Mix well. Texture should hold together to form a cake, but still be slightly moist. If necessary, add more cracker crumbs. then set aside to cool. If desired, you can prepare this mixture in advance - it will keep for several days in the fridge.
- When the mixture has cooled, form into cakes. Then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Add olive oil to a large saute pan over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Once the oil is hot, add the crab cakes. Cook two minutes on both sides, or until the crab cakes slightly brown and form a nice crust.
