Corn and Scallion Salsa with Crab Cake Sliders

Although crab cakes have their roots in a simple fisherman’s dish, they may now be found in restaurants all over the world. As an appetizer or on their own, these light cakes are delicious. During the winter holidays, we like to serve appetizers based on crab cakes. Our handmade, pre-made blend makes them not only simple to prepare, but also exceptionally tasty.

Where Crab Cakes Came From

It is believed that crab cakes were becoming increasingly popular prior to 1930, when Crosby Gaige published the first recipe for them. During the Great Depression, when food was scarce, combining crab with filler was a fantastic method to stretch the meat and produce a meal.

What’s So Unique About “Jumbo Lump”?

The gigantic lump flesh from blue crabs is much sought for. Crab connoisseurs refer to the area between the crab’s huge muscles and its fin-like swimming legs as “the body” since here is where the crab’s jumbo lump flesh is found. It’s the most sought-after section of the crab since it’s the biggest, juiciest, and most delicate. Smaller chunks of giant lump and flesh from the body are what make up lump crab meat. Lump crab flesh, namely giant lump, is incredibly tasty, delicate, sweet, and buttery.

A favor sensation is coming your way. There are a lot of tasty things in here. Our award-winning crab cakes have lump crab flesh that is sweet and buttery, along with Maryland-style spices, mayonnaise, and bread crumbs. On the opposite side of the kitchen is a colorful salsa made of tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and corn that is bursting with flavor thanks to the addition of fresh lime juice and garlic. In addition, the typical relish is swapped out for zingy green chilies to create a green chili tartar sauce that brings all of the tastes together in a third unexpected corner.

Salsa de Maiz y Cilantros for Dipped Crab Cake Sliders

Ingredients

Salsa with Maiz y Cilantro

  • 2/cups fresh or frozen kernels of yellow corn (if frozen, thawed and drained)
  • Slivered scallions, 1/2 cup
  • Diced fresh tomatoes, half a cup
  • Diced and seeded green bell peppers, 1/2 cup
  • Peel and dice a quarter cup of red onion.
  • 1 peeled and chopped clove of garlic
  • Juice of one lime
  • 1/2 milligram of salt
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Tartar Sauce with Green Chilies

  • Half a cup of mayonnaise
  • Ingredients: 3 teaspoons of drained canned green chilies
  • 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh cilantro
  • Sour cream, 1 table spoon
  • Add 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning
  • 1/2 of a lemon juiced 1 tsp
  • To taste, with salt and pepper

Sliders

  • A dozen of Cameron’s Seafood’s Giant Lump Crab Cakes, each weighing 8 ounces
  • Butter, sliced into 1-inch cubes
  • 16 toasted and split Hawaiian-style dinner rolls

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the corn, scallions, tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together, then store in the fridge until it’s time to serve.
  2. Salt and pepper to taste, then add to a medium bowl and mix together the mayonnaise, chilie, cilantro, sour cream, taco spice, and lime juice. Keep chilled until ready to serve; cover and chill.
  3. Prepare individual crab cakes by dividing the mixture into 2 ounce patties (each 8oz container will get you 4 smaller crab cakes). Butter should be melted in increments of a couple tablespoons at a time in a big pan. Once the butter has melted, carefully add the little crab cakes to the pan without crowding them, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. Take out of the pan and do the same with the rest of the butter and crab cake mix.
  4. One tablespoon of tartar sauce should be used to cover each toasted bun. Serve the rolls as soon as possible with crab cakes and salsa on top. The sliders will be less soggy if you avoid assembling them until the last minute and serve them without the salsa.
