Northwest Dungeness Crab Cake Burger Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 crab cakes
• 4 Tbsp butter
• 4 brioche buns
• 1/2 cup aioli
• 1 avocado, divided into 12 slices
• 1 watermelon radish or 3 regular radishes, sliced
• Pickled fennel - follow instructions for Quick Pickled Vegetables
• Your favorite greens or microgreens
• Dijon mustard (optional)

Directions:

1. On the stovetop, melt butter in heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the crab cakes and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
2. Open buns and place on a sheet pan, inside up. Turn the oven on on broil and toast the buns for a couple of minutes. Check frequently to keep them from burning.
3. Once slightly toasted, take them out, slather the bottom with a tablespoon of aioli each. Place a crab cake on each bun and top with the additional aioli, radish, avocado, pickled fennel, and greens. Serve immediately.
