Crab Cakes with Homemade Remoulade and Fried Capers

Ingredients

  • The Fresh Market Crab Cakes (2 ct)

Homemade Remoulade

  • 1 c mayonnaise
  • ¼ c spicy mustard, your favorite
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tsp prepared horseradish
  • 1 tsp cajun spice blend
  • 1 Tbsp hot sauce, more or less to taste
  • 2 Tbsp minced dill pickle or capers
  • Lemon juice and honey to taste

Fried Capers

  • ¼ c capers

Directions

In a large sauté pan, heat oil over medium high heat until it shimmers, about 3 minutes. Add crab cakes and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Using a slotted spatula, remove crab cakes to paper towels and allow to drain.

HOMEMADE REMOULADE:

In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, spicy mustard, garlic, horseradish, Cajun spice blend, hot sauce and chopped pickles or capers. Taste. Adjust seasoning by adding more salt, hot sauce or a blitz of lemon juice. A ½ teaspoon of honey if also welcome. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

FRIED CAPERS:

Serve these as a finishing touch on top of the Ultimate Lump Crab Cakes or Steamed Asparagus and Red Peppers. These are also delicious on top of steamed salmon, chicken piccata or oyster po’boy.
