Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the celery and onion in half the olive oil. You are not looking to brown the vegetables, really, but soften them. This will take about 10 minutes. Halfway through, season with white pepper and kosher salt.
  2. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and allow to cool.
  3. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat with the lemon juice, half of the eggs, and the breadcrumbs. Mix together, thoroughly, with a wooden spoon.
  4. When the vegetables are cool (such that you can handle them easily with bare hands) fold them into the crab mixture until evenly distributed.
  5. Form the crab-and-vegetables mixture into four balls and flatten them into thick disks about 3 in diameter.
  6. Coat each crab cake in the remaining beaten egg followed by a coating in the panko breadcrumbs.
  7. In your skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the remaining olive oil. When the butter has melted and is starting to bubble, add the crab cakes and sauté until brown on the first side (about 5 minutes). Then, turn the cakes over and sauté, again, until brown on the second side (about 5 more minutes).
  8. Remove to a plate to serve, hot, with mayonnaise, tartar sauce, lemon, aioli, or your favorite condiment.
