How to Make Panko Crusted Crab Cake Bites With Roasted Pepper Chive Aioli

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (240°C).
  2. Sort through 1 pound of crab meat, discarding any shell fragments.
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine 1/2 cup finely diced celery, 2 tablespoons minced chives, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce.
  4. Add the crab meat and 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Place the remaining 1 cup panko bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
  6. Shape the crab mixture into 24 small cakes, about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Roll each crab cake in the panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Place the crab cakes slightly apart on an oiled 12x17 inch baking pan.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. While the crab cakes bake, prepare the aioli:
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup chopped drained roasted red peppers, 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic.
  12. Once the crab cakes are cooked, transfer them to a platter.
  13. Top each crab cake with a dollop of the roasted pepper chive aioli.
  14. Garnish with fresh chives and serve immediately.
