Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
Crab Imperial
1 pound, jumbo lump crab meat
1/2 cup, panko bread crumbs
Crab goo
8 ounces, real mayonnaise
1 egg
2 tablespoons, Old Bay
1/2 teaspoon, cumin
4 tablespoons, fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 lemon, squeezed
Directions
Mix the crab goo together. Fold the crab in gently so as not to break the lumps. Add the panko bread crumbs and form into eight-ounce cakes.
Crab Imperial Sauce
8 ounces, real mayonnaise

Drop a spoonful of garlic butter in a baking dish, then place the flounder filet on top, filet side down. Center one crab cake on top, tucking the two top filets on both sides. Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for eight minutes. Remove the dish from the oven. Top with the Imperial sauce. Place a lemon wedge next to the fish. Place the dish back in the oven for approximately four to five minutes or until golden brown.
