How To Make panko-crusted lobster cakes

  • 1
    In a bowl, combine the lobster meat, mayo, green onions, roasted red peppers, celery, egg, lemon juice, paprika, tarragon, salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning; stir to blend.
  • 2
    Add 3/4 cup bread crumbs and mix well.
  • 3
    Form 4 patties. If the mixture is wet, gently squeeze the liquid between your hands while forming the patty until it’s mostly out.
  • 4
    Place them on a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge for 6 to 8 hours.
  • 5
    In a shallow dish, add the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs. Working with one at a time, coat the patty very well, pressing down on the crumbs to adhere and shaking off any excess. Set aside while working with the others.
  • 6
    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and clarified butter. When hot, place the cakes in the pan, pressing down on top gently. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
  • 7
    Serve with Rémoulade, aioli, Russian dressing, or Thousand Island dressing.
