How To Make panko-crusted lobster cakes

Step 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.

Step 2

Add 3/4 cup bread crumbs and mix well.
Step 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.
Step 4

Place them on a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge for 6 to 8 hours.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 7

Serve with Rémoulade, aioli, Russian dressing, or Thousand Island dressing.
