Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Shape crabmeat mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Coat patties in remaining 1 cup bread crumbs to make a crust.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook patties until uniformly golden brown, about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
Step 3
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Arrange hamburger buns, split sides up, on a baking sheet.
Step 4
Brush buns with melted butter. Toast in the preheated oven until edges begin to brown.
Step 5
Whisk ¾ cup mayonnaise, green onion, 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 6
Combine ¼ cup mayonnaise, egg, red onion, and 1 ½ teaspoons minced parsley in a large bowl, stirring well with a fork.
Step 7
Add 1 cup bread crumbs, crabmeat, 2 tablespoons black pepper, seafood seasoning, ½ teaspoon sea salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika; stir until combined, the mixture will be fairly loose and wet.
Step 8
Place 1 crab cake on each bun, top with remoulade sauce and desired toppings. Serve with extra sauce and lemon wedges.
