Crab Cake Burgers
Latest Review: "Delete the onion powder and add a cup of saut ...more"
  • Prep:
  • Cook:
  • Ready in: 20 mins
  • Serves:

Ingredients

  • 1 pound crabmeat
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (see Note)
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons minced chives
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter

Cooking Instructions

1. Mix crab, egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard, lemon juice, celery seed, onion powder, pepper and hot sauce in a large bowl. Form into 6 patties.

2. Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the butter stops foaming. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.

Note: Panko breadcrumbs, also known as Japanese breadcrumbs or bread flakes, are coarser in texture than other dried breadcrumbs. They produce a crispy crust and are less likely to become soggy than finely ground breadcrumbs. Look for panko in the Asian food section of large supermarkets and in specialty Asian markets.

Mine is Better

Delete the onion powder and add a cup of sauteed onions and green bell pepper, PLUS!! 1/2 pound of shrimp (1/4"-3/8" pieces). You should get 8 good-sized burgers

4th of July Party

I'm from Arizona where crab is not plentiful. I substituted ground beef for the crab and served them on hamburger buns. I received so many compliments. A real crowd pleaser!

Why Ruin This With FAT??

I agree with others that Hellman's rocks. They have a light version that rocks too. Remember, you can always 1/2 mayo and 1/2 plain yogurt and cut your fat and get a great flavor too. In lieu of all of the fats (i.e., butter & olive oil), a well seasoned cast iron grill over two burners and olive oil and/or butter flavored pam for grilling. Also, panko and crab are very light flavors, however Dijon and celery seed are NOT. a light hand in using these because why ruin the lovely sweet flavor of fresh crab. Now if you are using "KRAB" (a pollock) product, season away.
