Krabbfritters med örtsallad och Meyer citron aïoli

These elegant crab fritters offer a sophisticated blend of delicate seafood and citrus brightness, perfect for a weekend lunch or an impressive dinner party starter. The recipe pairs succulent crabmeat with earthy shiitake mushrooms, creating a wonderful depth of flavour that is lifted by a vibrant Meyer lemon aïoli. By folding whisked egg whites into the batter, these fritters achieve a light, airy texture that contrasts beautifully with the crisp, golden exterior.

Served alongside a punchy salad of fresh basil and flat-leaf parsley, this dairy-free dish is both refreshing and indulgent. Meyer lemons are prized for their floral aroma and milder acidity, though regular lemons also work well if they are hard to find. It is a fantastic way to enjoy high-quality fresh shellfish with a simple, homemade touch that highlights the natural sweetness of the crab.

Ingredients for Crab Fritters with Herb Salad and Meyer Lemon Aïoli

  • 120ml mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons fresh Meyer lemon juice

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated Meyer lemon peel

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon Sherry wine vinegar

  • 60 ml extra jungfruolja

  • 2 large eggs, separated

  • 1 tablespoon crème fraîche or soured cream

  • 240ml (packed) fresh crabmeat, picked over, broken into 1/2-inch pieces (about 170g )

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

  • 4 medium-size fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 2 matskedar extra jungfruolivolja

  • 1 tablespoon fresh Meyer lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup (packed) small fresh basil leaves

  • 1/2 cup (packed) fresh Italian parsley leaves

Place mayonnaise in small bowl. Whisk in lemon juice, lemon peel, mustard, and vinegar. Gradually whisk in oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

Whisk egg yolks and crème fraîche in small bowl to blend. Combine crabmeat, chives, shallot, and chopped parsley in medium bowl. Gently mix in mushrooms and yolk mixture. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover crab mixture and chill.)

Beat egg whites in medium bowl until stiff but not dry; fold into crab mixture. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. For each fritter, drop 1/4 of crab mixture (about 120ml ) into skillet, spacing mounds apart. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper and flatten slightly. Cook fritters until bottoms are brown, about 3 minutes. Turn fritters over. Cook until bottoms are brown and fritters are cooked through, about 3 minutes longer. Meanwhile, whisk oil and lemon juice in medium bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in herbs.

Transfer fritters to plates. Top each fritter with dollop of aioli. Place herb salad alongside and serve.
