Happy 26th birthday Tyler! To celebrate I made Tyler a tasty dinner of crab cakes, pecan crusted salmon, asparagus, and couscous. No dessert however, we are both completely burned out on sweets and still have lots of Christmas candy floating around if we need a fix! I’ve been wanting to make crabcakes forever, but finding quality lump crab meat in Kansas that isn’t ridiculously expensive is quite a challenge. So I bought a package of these babies at Costco for about $16.
and I whipped up a nice sauce to go with them!
Lemon Aioli Sauce (adapted from The Neelys at Food Network)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped chives (I used parsley)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
I also added about a tablespoon of dijon mustard and a pinch of sugar
In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
