1

In small bowl, mix Lemon Aioli ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
2

In large bowl, mix crabmeat, bread crumbs, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, the green onion whites, chile garlic sauce and eggs. Using a heaping tablespoon of mixture for each, shape into 24 (1 1/2-inch) patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Cover and refrigerate at least 10 minutes but no longer than 4 hours.

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add patties; cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked (165°F). Drain on paper towels. Top crab cakes with green onion greens; serve with sauce.

Expert Tips

Lemon aioli can be made and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day ahead. Crab cakes can be assembled and refrigerated, covered, up to 4 hours before cooking.
To make nice patties, roll mixture into balls, then make a C-shape with forefinger and thumb. Place ball inside C-shape and turn, pressing with other hand to create a puck shape.
