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.
BAKED CRABCAKES WITH OLD BAY REMOULADE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the remoulade: Combine the mayonnaise, capers, chives, pickle juice, creole mustard, Old Bay, lemon zest and juice, and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined and smooth, about 1 minute. Cover and refrigerate.
- For the crabcakes: Combine the eggs, lemon zest and juice, mayonnaise, Old Bay, salt and hot sauce in a bowl; whisk together until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the backfin crabmeat and the crushed crackers, and mix until well combined. Gently fold in the lump crabmeat. Divide the crabcake mixture into six equal portions; roll each into a loose ball and place in a large cast-iron pan.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the crabcakes are golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Arrange the crabcakes on a large serving platter. Top each with a dollop of the remoulade. Serve immediately.
CLASSIC CRAB CAKES
Our region is known for good seafood, and crab cakes are a traditional favorite. I learned to make them from a chef in a restaurant where they were a bestseller. The crabmeat's sweet and mild flavor is sparked by the blend of other ingredients. -Debbie Terenzini, Lusby, Maryland
