Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk 3/4 cup mayonnaise, green onion, grainy mustard, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, ketchup, vinegar, horseradish, garlic granules, and hot pepper sauce together in a medium bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Cover sauce; refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 2

Combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, egg, red onion and 1 1/2 teaspoons minced parsley in a large bowl, stirring well with a fork.

Step 3

Add 1 cup bread crumbs, crabmeat, 2 tablespoons black pepper, seafood seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and cayenne pepper; stir until combined, the mixture will be fairly loose and wet.

Step 4

Shape crabmeat mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Coat patties in remaining 1 cup bread crumbs to make a crust.

Step 5

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook patties until uniformly golden brown, about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.

Step 6

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Arrange hamburger buns, split sides up, on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Brush buns with melted butter. Toast in the preheated oven until edges begin to brown.

Step 8

Place 1 patty on each bun, top with remoulade sauce and desired toppings. Serve with extra sauce and lemon wedges.
