Follow The Directions
01
Step
In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup mayonnaise, green onion, mustard, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, ketchup, vinegar, horseradish, garlic granules, and hot pepper sauce; season with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (5 minutes)
02
Step
In a large bowl, combine ¼ cup mayonnaise, egg, red onion, and 1 ½ teaspoons minced parsley, stirring well with a fork. (3 minutes)
03
Step
Add 1 cup bread crumbs, crabmeat, 2 tablespoons black pepper, seafood seasoning, ½ teaspoon sea salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika; stir until just combined. The mixture will be fairly loose and wet. (5 minutes)
04
Step
Shape the crabmeat mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Coat patties in the remaining 1 cup bread crumbs to create a crust. (10 minutes)
05
Step
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook patties until uniformly golden brown, about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. (8 minutes)
06
Step
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Arrange hamburger buns, split sides up, on a baking sheet. (2 minutes)
07
Step
Brush buns with melted butter. Toast in the preheated oven until edges begin to brown. (5 minutes)
08
Step
Place 1 crab cake on each bun, top with remoulade sauce and desired toppings. Serve with extra sauce and lemon wedges. (3 minutes)
For an extra crispy crust, chill the crab cakes for 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of horseradish and hot sauce in the remoulade to suit your spice preference.
Serve with a side of crisp French fries or a refreshing marinated green bean salad.
