Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Crab Cake Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped parsley, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined; be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form Crab Cakes

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

Chipotle Aioli Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Aioli Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt until smooth and well combined.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of chipotle aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a crab cake on top, followed by a handful of arugula and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
