Wild Rock Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Wild Rock Crab Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the wild rock crab meat, mashed sweet potato, cooked polenta, shredded cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 1 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the crab cakes to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauces

    In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice and mashed avocado for the lime-avocado sauce. In another small bowl, combine lemon juice and mayonnaise for the lemon aioli.

  5. 5

    Serve the Dish

    On a plate, serve the crab cakes alongside citrus carrots, black beans, and steamed broccoli. Drizzle with achiote sauce and serve the lime-avocado sauce and lemon aioli on the side.
