    List of Ingredients







    .




    Lemon Dill Sauce:
    1 cup mayonnaise
    1/4 cup buttermilk
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill leaves
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
    1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
    2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    1 garlic clove, minced
    Crab Cakes:
    3 tablespoons butter
    1 green onion, finely chopped
    2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
    1 garlic clove, minced
    3 tablespoons heavy cream
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1 egg
    1/2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
    Cayenne pepper
    1 cup bread crumbs
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan
    1 pound white or claw crabmeat, picked free of any bits of shell
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil

    Recipe



    To make the sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
    Refrigerate until chilled. The sauce will thicken as it chills.
    To prepare the crab cakes, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heavy skillet
    over medium heat. Saute the onion, bell pepper, and garlic until the
    pepper is limp, approximately 3 minutes. Add the cream, mustard, 1 egg,
    parsley, cayenne pepper and 1/2 cup bread crumbs, to taste, and mix well.
    Gently fold in the crabmeat.
    Form the mixture into 8 patties, about 1/2-inch thick. In a mixing bowl,
    combine the remaining 1/2 cup of bread crumbs with the Parmesan. Pat this
    topping onto both sides of the patties. Refrigerate until firm, about 2
    hours.
    Using a skillet, combine the oil and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
    Saute the crab cakes in the hot oil-butter mixture for approximately 3
    minutes on each side or until golden brown. These crab cakes can also be
    baked for 7 to 10 minutes in a 400 degree F oven.
    To serve, spoon a dollop of the lemon dill sauce along side each crab
    cake.
