Description

Imagine sinking your fork into a burger where the expected bread is replaced with something unexpectedly delightful. This seafood burger offers a unique and satisfying alternative to traditional beef burgers, focusing on fresh flavors and contrasting textures. At the base, a substantial portobello mushroom cap, grilled to tender perfection, stands in for the bottom bun.

Its earthy notes provide a grounding counterpoint to the seafood that follows. Crisp lettuce and juicy tomato slices add a familiar freshness, reminiscent of classic burger toppings, offering a burst of coolness against the richer elements of the dish. The star of this creation is a succulent crab cake patty.

Seasoned with a blend of savory spices, each bite of the crab cake delivers a delightful mix of sweet crab meat and flavorful warmth. The spices enhance the natural sweetness of the crab without overpowering it, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. The texture is equally appealing, with a delicate crispness on the outside giving way to a tender, moist interior.

A creamy, tangy sauce, built on a mayonnaise base, ties all the components together. This sauce adds a layer of richness and moisture, complementing the crab cake and vegetables. Its subtle tanginess cuts through the richness, enhancing the overall flavor profile and leaving you wanting more.

This burger is best enjoyed with a fork and knife, allowing you to savor each individual component and appreciate the interplay of flavors and textures. It's a delightful and satisfying meal that's both light and flavorful, making it a perfect choice for a satisfying lunch or a light dinner. The combination of the earthy mushroom, the fresh vegetables, the spiced crab cake, and the tangy sauce creates a symphony of tastes that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you feeling completely satisfied.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Remove the stems of 1 portabella cap per serving and arrange them on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper facing upside down. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the caps, followed by a drizzle of ½ TB olive oil per cap.
    2.
    Bake the portabella caps for 15 minutes straight. You can drain away any liquid that collects before arranging the cooked portabella caps on a serving plate.
    3.
    Turn the oven heat up to 400 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine drained crab meat with pepper, old bay seasoning, garlic, pork rinds, parmesan, and mayo. Form 3 oz crab patties per serving and arrange on the same sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
    4.
    Bake the crab patties for 30 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the baking time. At your discretion, you can reheat your portabella caps in a microwave or oven when the patties reach the end of their baking time.
    5.
    While the crab patties cool for just 1-2 minutes, arrange ¼ oz lettuce and a ¼ oz slice of tomato on each portabella cap.
    6.
    Make a quick burger sauce by whisking together the final amounts of mayo and ketchup. Transfer a crab patty on top of each portabella burger and top the patties off with the burger sauce.
