  • 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup Panko
  • 1 lb lump crab meat
  • vegetable oil
Tartar Sauce
  • 1 cup Duke's mayo
  • 1½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp Dill pickles chopped
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 - 2 tbsp lemon juice to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste
For Sandwich
  • 6 brioche buns
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • bib lettuce, pickles, tomato optional condiments
Recipe Instructions
 
For the Tartar Sauce
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, pickles, sugar, Dijon, seasonings, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Taste to adjust seasoning. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
For the Crab Cakes
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayo, Dijon, Worcestershire, Old Bay, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the crab meat and panko and gently fold together.
  • Scoop out roughly ½ cup of mixture and using your hands, form into 6 even patties. Place on a baking sheet lines with foil or parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in fridge for an hour. (This will help them stay together when cooking).
  • Heat a medium-sized cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with oil. When hot, place cakes in pan (cook in batches so as to not overcrowd). Cook until golden brown, about 3 - 5 minutes per side. Serve warm with tartar sauce.
Sandwich
  • Slather the inside of the buns with butter. In your skillet over medium heat, toast until golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes.
  • To assemble, place a crab cake on the bottom bun. Top with a generous dollop of the tartar sauce followed by lettuce and other toppings if desired. Place top bun on top and enjoy.
