Crab Cake Sliders with Spicy Remoulade
Crab cake sliders are the perfect combination of indulgent seafood flavor and casual handheld fun. Using Sizzlefish Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes guarantees a restaurant-quality result—sweet, delicate crab meat shaped into perfectly seasoned patties that cook beautifully in minutes.
These sliders make an excellent appetizer, party bite, or light dinner and come together quickly with simple ingredients and a zesty homemade remoulade.
Sizzlefish Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes: The star of the recipe, these crab cakes are packed with premium crab meat, offering natural sweetness and a buttery texture. Thawing ensures they cook evenly and develop a crisp, golden crust.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil: Vegetable oil is ideal for pan-searing because it has a high smoke point and neutral flavor. It helps the crab cakes brown evenly without burning or altering the seafood’s delicate taste.
4 slider buns: Soft slider buns provide structure while staying tender enough to bite through easily. Their slight sweetness complements the richness of the crab cakes.
Leafy lettuce: Lettuce adds crisp freshness and helps prevent the bun from becoming soggy. Baby romaine or butter lettuce works beautifully.
Sliced Roma tomatoes: Roma tomatoes offer a firm texture and mild acidity that cuts through the richness of the crab cakes and remoulade.
For the Spicy Remoulade
Mayonnaise: The creamy base binds the sauce and adds a cool richness that pairs well with the warm crab cakes.
Spicy mustard: Adds tang and heat while balancing the mayonnaise. It sharpens the flavor and keeps the sauce lively.
Horseradish: Horseradish contributes a subtle, earthy heat that complements the crab without overpowering it.
Hot sauce: A customizable kick that deepens the flavor. Use more for a punchy, bold sauce or fewer for a mild finish.
These sliders are highly customizable. Try switching things up with:
- Pickled red onions for tang and crunch
- Avocado slices for creamy richness
- Coleslaw for added texture
- Cucumber ribbons for a fresh, cool bite
- Brioche or pretzel slider buns for a flavor twist
- Sweet chili sauce in place of hot sauce for a mild, sweet heat
These Crab Cake Sliders are elegant enough for entertaining yet simple enough for a weeknight meal. Enjoy the rich flavor of premium seafood in every bite!
