Bernaise Sauce & Crab Cakes

[Roxy]

My hon took me to Hungry Hunter for Mothers Day and I ordered salmon steak with Bernaise Sauce on it...it was great...does anyone have a good tried and true recipe for Bernaise Sauce with no wine in it?

I also ordered crab cakes as an appetizer because I have never tried crab cakes before. I loved them Anyone have a good tried and true recipe for this too please?

Thx for any help on this

okay, these are not tried and true but they are very similar to the ones I have used and eaten. Maryland lump crab is truly the key to an amazing crabcake.

This is the only crab cake recipe my family has used for ages It won the Crisfield Crab Cookoff perhaps 25 years ago.

Maryland Crab Cakes

2 eggs
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
3 Tbsp half and half
2 tsp Worchestershire
1 Tbsp. fresh chopped parlsey or 1 tsp dry
2 tsp Old Bay or to taste (I use more)
1 Tbsp melted butter
1 lb jumbo lump or backfin crab meat (the best you can afford)
1 1/2 slices of white bread crusts removed
Fresh bread crumbs - probably about 2 c.

In small bowl combine first 7 ingredients thoroughly.

Break bread into tiny pieces into a medium bowl. Add and toss picked crab meat. Pour liquid ingredients over the crabmeat/bread mixture and gently combine. Form into cakes (messy) and roll in fresh bread crumbs. Place on plate, cover and chill 3-4 hours.

Saute in combination of oil and butter until nicely browned on both sides.

You can also take any of these recipes and use tuna out of the can, instead of the expensive crab meat and it will be similar, but not exact.
