Ingredients

For the crab cakes
1 lb crabmeat, not too broken apart
1/4 cup scallion, finely chopped
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
For tartar sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1 teaspoon creole mustard
1/4 teaspoon cajun creole mustard

Preparation

In a large bowl, place crabmeat, scallions and bread crumbs. Mix very lightly.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustards, lemon juice, seasonings and egg and whip together until smooth.
Pour mayonnaise mixture over the crab mixture and lightly fold together.
Gently shape into 20 cakes (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter). Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to an hour.
Meanwhile make the tartar sauce by mixing all the tartar sauce ingredients together in a small bowl; cover and store in refrigerator until ready to use.
To cook the crab cakes, put oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat and when small bubbles appear, add the cakes.
Cook 2-3 minutes, per side, until golden brown.
Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
