Crab Cakes with Jalapeño-Lime Tartar Sauce
Chilling the crab cakes helps them hold together better when cooked in the pan. Lime rind and a jalapeño pepper give the tartar sauce a refreshing spicy-citrus kick–a fitting complement to the savory crab cakes.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 crab cake and about 2 tablespoons sauce)
