Recipe
CAKES-In a saucepan cook pepper, onion and garlic in butter over
moderately low heat until soft. In a bowl combine with Bechamel and
stir in egg yolk, herbs, mustard, lemon juice, cayenne, Tabasco, salt
and pepper. In another bowl combine 1/2 c sauce mixture with crab and
salmon and toss lightly with a fork to combine well. Form into 3"
patties and chill for 1 hour. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350~.
Dredge patties lightly in flour, then beaten egg and in bread crumbs,
coating well. Deep fry in batches for 4 minutes or until light brown.
Drizzle with Citrus Sauce and serve with a fruit salsa and fresh
veggies.
BECHAMEL-Melt butter over moderate heat. Add flour and cook, stirring
for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not let the roux color. In another saucepan,
bring cream to a boil. Reduce heat to very low, add roux, stirring
constantly, and cook for 5 minutes. Cool. CITRUS SAUCE-In a blender
puree herbs, juices, vinegar and jalapeno. Add oil, a little at a
time, blending after each addition until sauce coats back of a spoon.
Add Tabasco, salt and pepper.
