Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Refrigeration Time 30 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Equipment

  • Large Skillet (10 inches)
  • Large Bowl
  • Small Bowl

Ingredients  

Spicy Remoulade

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
  • ½ teaspoon lime juice
  • teaspoon kosher salt

Crab Cakes

  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon stone-ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
  • ½ cup saltine crackers, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil for frying, as needed

Sliders

  • 4 slider buns, such as brioche or Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 cup arugula, or microgreens
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Instructions 

  • Combine mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, salt, and lime juice in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, Old Bay, parsley, green onions, black pepper, and salt.
  • Place the crabmeat on top, followed by the crumbled saltine crackers. With a rubber spatula or large spoon, gently fold everything together. Break up crab meat slightly.
  • Form the crabmeat mixture into 4 patties about 1 1/2 inches thick and place on a wax paper-lined cooking sheet or baking pan. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add the crab cakes and cook until golden brown, crispy, and heated through, approximately 3 minutes per side.
  • While the crab cakes cook, brush the cut sides of the slider buns with melted butter and toast in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Spread a generous layer of spicy remoulade on the bottom bun. Top with a crab cake, then arugula, tomato, or microgreens, as desired. Add the top bun and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
