SANDRA’S LUSCIOUS ALASKA DUNGENESS CRAB CAKES with SEAFOOD AIOLI

Simply put, this is another reason why I love living in Alaska! 
Yum...


Servings: (2)
Prep: 5 Mins.
Chill: 20 Mins.
Cook: 8 to 10 Mins.

INGREDIENTS

Seafood Aioli: (Yields ½ cup)
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon old bay seasoning
¼ teaspoon sriracha (Asian hot sauce)
Fresh-Cooked Lump
Alaska Dungeness
Crab Meat

Crab cakes:
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
¼ teaspoon old bay seasoning
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoons dijon
1 teaspoon worcestershire
¼ teaspoon sriracha (Asian Hot Sauce)
Pinches of fine-grain sea salt and white pepper
½ lb. cooked lump dungeness crab meat, picked over

--For frying:
----1 tablespoon vegetable oil
----1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Garnish:
1 green onion, finely sliced (green and white parts)

METHOD

Prepare steamed basmati rice, according to package directions (if using) beforehand.

Whisk the aioli (sauce) ingredients in a small bowl. Taste; add more sriracha sauce if you like it spicier.  Refrigerate for flavors to meld.  Store leftovers, covered, in refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add all crab cake ingredients, except crab meat; mix to incorporate.  


Gently fold in the crab meat, just until incorporated. 


Shape mixture into four 1” thick crab cakes; transfer to a wax paper-lined plate.


Refrigerate formed crab cakes until firm for a minimum of 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

Heat oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add crab cakes and cook until golden on bottom, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, for a total of 8 to 10 minutes. 


Transfer crab cakes to individual plates, and serve topped with Seafood Aioli and garnish with sliced green onions, with a side of steamed basmati rice drizzled with ginger soy sauce. ~ Enjoy!
