Jumbo Lump Blue Crab & Grouper Cake Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Crab and Fish Mixture

   In a large bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump blue crab meat and flaked grouper fillet, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

2. 2

   Mix the Wet Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped green onion, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Pour the wet mixture over the crab and fish mixture. Add the breadcrumbs and the beaten egg. Gently fold everything together until just combined.

4. 4

   Form the Cakes

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

5. 5

   Chill the Cakes

   Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them hold together during cooking.

6. 6

   Cook the Cakes

   Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. 7

   Prepare the Avocado Green Goddess Dressing

   While the crab cakes are cooking, prepare the avocado green goddess dressing by blending ripe avocados, fresh herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the crab and grouper cakes hot, garnished with capers and drizzled with the avocado green goddess dressing.
