Crab Cake Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
Prepare the Crab Cakes
In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
Form the mixture into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the patties and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Broil the crab cakes for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare the Lemon Pepper Aioli
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon juice, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Assemble the Sandwich
Toast the burger buns if desired. On each bun, place a lettuce leaf, a crab cake, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of lemon pepper aioli.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
