Crab mixture

Bun & greens

Method

Lemon mayo and crab filling

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, 0.25 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper to make a tangy lemon mayo.

  2. 2

    Gently fold in the Dungeness crab meat and minced green onions until evenly combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Toast buns and prep greens

  1. 3

    Warm a skillet over medium heat. Brush the cut sides of the brioche buns with melted butter and toast, cut side down, until golden and lightly crisp, about 1–2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Rinse and pat dry romaine leaves. Place two leaves on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

Assemble

  1. 5

    Divide the crab mixture evenly over the lettuce on each bottom bun.

  2. 6

    Cap with the top halves of the buns and serve immediately.
