THE BEST CRAB CAKES
When we set out to make the "best" crab cakes, opinions in the test kitchen were strong and varied. But we could all agree on plenty of fresh, high-quality crabmeat with very little filler. After some tinkering, we created these decadent cakes-generously sized and highly seasoned-with plenty of lemon juice, fresh herbs and spices. The jumbo lump crabmeat is front and center, so splurge on the best and freshest you can find.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
- Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
- Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
- Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
BAKED CRAB WITH GARLIC-CHILE BUTTER
This baked crab is a cross between a crab cake and crab dip. It's full of crab and has tons of flavor from the garlic-chile butter, which is good on anything, especially crab, lobsters and oysters! It's a perfect summertime treat. I spend a lot of time in Delaware and Maryland during the summer and there's always lots of crab around!

Steps:
- Remove the garlic chile-butter from the refrigerator and using a spoon, scrape about 1 cup of the butter into shards. Add 3/4 cup of the shards to a small bowl; set aside the remaining shards.
- Add the crabmeat to the small bowl and toss gently with the butter to avoid breaking up the crab too much. Lightly season with salt. Transfer to a broiler-safe baking dish, such as ceramic (but not glass) that's about 7 by 5 inches in size (or similar) and top with the remaining butter pieces.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- When ready to serve, preheat the broiler to medium-high.
- Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet and remove the plastic wrap. Broil until the top is golden brown and bubbling, rotating the dish a few times so it browns evenly, 7 to 10 minutes total. Carefully remove the dish from the broiler.
- Garnish the dish with a few sprigs of parsley and a few lemon wedges to squeeze over the top. Serve with the crostini.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well with a rubber spatula until completely incorporated. Alternatively, mix the ingredients in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Freeze the butter just until firm enough to shave with a spoon, about 10 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 1 week in an airtight container. Alternatively, transfer the butter to a sheet of parchment paper and form into a log. Wrap tightly with the parchment and plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Makes about 2 cups.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet and season with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Bake until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Make the crab cakes first so they have time to firm up in the refrigerator before you cook them.
- Heat a 2-count of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the onion gets kind of caramelized. Dump that into a bowl and fold in the crabmeat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, egg white, lime juice, and cilantro, mixing just until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 6 fat crab cakes. Put them on a plate, cover, and stick them in the refrigerator to chill.
- To serve, heat a 3-count of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the crab cakes and cook for about 4 minutes each side until nice and crisp. Serve on torn butcher paper with fresh lemon wedges and Garlic Aioli with Celery Root.
- Mince garlic and make into paste using the side of your knife. Hint: to make this go faster add a bit of salt to the garlic and continue mashing with the side of your knife.
- Place the paste in a large bowl and add: the sour cream, mayonnaise, celery seed, lemon juice, and oil. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fold in the shredded celery root and chives. Give it a final taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
