Miso Aioli

Crab Melt Assembly

Chips

Method

Miso Aioli Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the miso paste, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well blended.

  2. 2

    Chill

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the miso aioli for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Crab Melt Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare Crab Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, sliced scallions, and 2 tablespoons of the chilled miso aioli. Mix gently until the crab is well coated.

  2. 4

    Assemble Sandwiches

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of brioche bread. On the unbuttered side, layer the crab mixture evenly, followed by two slices of American cheese on top.

  3. 5

    Grill Sandwiches

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches butter-side down and grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 6

    Finish with Trout Roe

    Once the sandwiches are done, remove them from the skillet and add a spoonful of trout roe on top of each sandwich.

Chips Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Chips

    In a bowl, serve the potato chips alongside the crab melt sandwiches for a crunchy side.
