Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh lump crab meat
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 pieces brioche burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise (for aioli)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 piece garlic clove, finely minced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, Panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, egg, green onion, parsley, and lemon juice. Gently mix until well combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Place them on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them firm up.
While the crab patties chill, prepare the lemon aioli. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup mayonnaise (for aioli), lemon zest, and minced garlic. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the crab patties to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Lightly toast the brioche buns in a separate pan or toaster for about 1-2 minutes until golden.
To assemble the burgers, spread a spoonful of the lemon aioli on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top of the aioli, followed by a tomato slice, and then a crab patty. Add another dollop of aioli on top of the crab patty before closing the burger with the top half of the brioche bun.
Serve immediately, garnished with a side of your favorite chips or a crisp summer salad. Enjoy your Queen B's Jersey Crab Burger!
