  • To make the sauce, blend all the sauce ingredients together and chill it for a while to thicken. While it cools, make the crab cakes. In a shallow skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the green onion, bell pepper, and garlic and sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in the egg, mustard, cream, and half a cup of the breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper and add the herbs, then take the pan off the heat. Add the crab meat and fold it in very gently. Shape the mixture into cakes about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Mix the remaining breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan and coat each cake well on both sides. Set the cakes on a plate and refrigerate for 2 hours. Combine the remaining butter and vegetable oil in a skillet; once hot, add the crab cakes and fry until golden on each side. Alternatively, bake them: heat the oven to 250°F (120°C), line a baking sheet with parchment, arrange the cakes, and bake for 7 to 10 minutes. To serve, spoon the lemon-dill sauce over each crab cake.
