Crab Cakes with Chipotle Mayonnaise


Today I'm having guest over and decided to make something special for starters. 
These crab cakes will blow your pallets away! 


Crab Cakes
1/4 pound skinless cod or flounder
filler, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
5 scallions, thinly sliced
3 jalapenos,seeded and minced
3 tablespoon chopped parsley 
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 pound lump crabmeat,picked over
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs

Chipotle Mayonnaise
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 chipotle chile in adobo, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Pure olive oil, for frying




In a food processor, puree fish. Transfer to a bowl and add the scallions, jalapenos, lemon juice,
parsley, cayenne, salt, pepper and mayonnaise and mix thoroughly.  


 Gently fold in the crabmeat. Form the mixture into 8 cakes. Coat the cakes with the panko and 
refrigerate for 30 minutes.


Meanwhile, make the chipotle mayonnaise
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chipotle, lemon juice, Old Bay Seasoning and mustard and season
with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate. 

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil until shimmering. Add the crab cakes and cook over
moderate heat until browned and heat it through, 3 minutes per side. Serve with the chipotle mayonnaise.
 

Hope you guys enjoy this amazing recipe!
