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:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Saute the onions until translucent and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the seafood seasoning and garlic and saute 1 minute longer. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, salt, pepper, bread, egg, lemon zest and sauteed onions. Scoop the crab mixture using a 1/3-cup measure and form cakes (they may be slightly loose; see Cook's Note). Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the crab cakes in batches, adding more oil if needed, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve atop salad greens with a drizzle of Remoulade Sauce.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, capers, relish, mustard and lemon juice in a medium bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

HEALTHY CRAB CAKES FOR MY MOM
How do you make a decent crab cake for an elderly person on a restricted diet? By accident, I realized I had made quite a few changes when I prepared Maryland Crab Cakes #235084, so I decided to list them here as a separate recipe. I have made many crab cake recipes over the years, but this was a very tasty, but not too rich crab cake; because it was baked rather than fried. It has a whitish appearance rather than golden brown, because I forgot to add a lightly beaten egg. Omitting the egg and additional salt, and baking instead of frying prevented my Mom from being overwhelmed, however these crab cakes may not hold their shape as well sans the egg, which appears to bug my younger brother, but delights Baltimorons who like to brag about too much crab meat in their crab cakes. These crab cakes tasted clean and fresh, letting the crab meat take center stage

Steps:
- Lightly oil baking pan or cookie sheet.
- Gently mix, by hand, crabmeat, scallions, herb, Old Bay, bread crumbs, and mayonnaise in medium bowl, being careful not to break up crab lumps.
- Divide crab mixture into four portions and carefully shape each into a fat, round cake, about 3 inches across and 1 1/2-inches high. Place on lightly oiled baking pan or cookie sheet so that none of the crab cakes touch. To "set" cakes, cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes, and up to 24 hours in advance to this point.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake crab cakes for 12-15 minutes. They will brown only slightly due to the lack of egg or oil. On the bright side, all ingredients are precooked before baking. If you won't settle for less than a golden brown look, brush some lightly beaten egg whites on the exposed crab cake surfaces before baking.
- Serve hot with saltine crackers.
- NOTE: Don't use jumbo lump backfin for the all the crab meat, as the lumps are too big for the cake to hold together. If trying to impress, use Jumbo Lump Backfin Crab for half the crab meat, and use regular backfin for the other half. .

CRAB CAKES
The verdict in the test kitchen was unanimous: When we order crab cakes in restaurants, these meaty beauties are what we want-not the bready hockey pucks that dot many menus around the country. Pair them with a simple salad or some fries for a Chesapeake-inspired two-person dinner done right.

CRAB CAKES
These are the best crab cakes I've ever eaten. I got the recipe from Cuisine magazine. Every time I make them I hear alot of oohs and ahhs and requests for the recipe. There's a local family-owned restaurant in town known for their crabcakes. My teenage niece said they were the only crabcakes she likes, until she tried these. These are even better.
