Crab cakes are so popular in Baltimore, they're even sold at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Use lettuce instead of a bun, and serve with a squeeze of lemon.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice plus wedges for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons old bay seasoning
1/2 jalapeño, seeded, finely chopped
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
1 1/4 cup panko (japanese breadcrumbs), divided
1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 head bibb lettuce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions:
1. Whisk first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add crab; fold to blend. Stir in 3/4 cup panko, chives, salt, and pepper. Divide into 6 equal portions. Form each into 1 -thick patties. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes. Line a platter with lettuce leaves.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place remaining 1/2 cup panko on a plate. Coat cakes with panko. Fry until golden brown and crisp, 3-4 minutes per side. Arrange atop lettuce; serve with lemon wedges.
