Crabcakes with tartar sauce and green salad

6 servings

40 minutes

Crab cakes with tartar sauce are an exquisite dish of American cuisine inspired by traditional crab patties from the East Coast of the USA. They feature a tender texture, rich seafood flavor, and a crispy cheese crust. The tartar sauce with tangy notes of pickles and garlic adds freshness, while the green salad with tomatoes provides lightness and balance of flavors. This is an ideal option for a festive dinner or gastronomic pleasure among friends. Baking instead of frying keeps the crab cakes soft inside and gives them a delicious golden crust, while the combination of cheese, sesame, and breadcrumbs makes them particularly aromatic. Serving with a slice of lemon highlights their natural freshness, turning each dish into a culinary masterpiece worthy of restaurant quality.
