Quick & Easy Crab Cakes
July 14, 2022
No matter where you live, you deserve a good crab cake. Seasoned with Old Bay and held together with a mix of vinegary Dijon and creamy mayo, these crab cakes deliver a classic New England flavor without making the trip to Maryland. While much of the recipe is traditional, we veered away from the typical tartar sauce and paired our cakes with creamy Chipotle Lime Mayo for a smoky pepper flavor and a burst of citrus that makes them feel fresh and modern.
