For Crab CakesCarefully remove the crab meat from the container and place in a bowl. Using your hands, gently pick through the meat and feel for shells. Try to keep the crab clusters as whole as possible as this will make for a much nicer crab cake. Put all crab cake ingredients (except oil) in mixing bowl and gently fold together—try not to break up the meat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Portion the crab cake mixture into six 3-ounce, 1"-thick cakes and refrigerate until needed. On the stove, place a large nonstick or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Place the oil in the pan and heat until it just starts to smoke. Gently place cakes in the pan and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a paper towel–lined plate and set aside. |

For Mustard Cider ReductionIn a medium saucepan, place the apple cider and reduce by 3⁄4 over medium heat. Next, add the vinegar and reduce again by 3⁄4 over medium heat. This whole process should take about 20 to 30 minutes. Next, whisk in the mustard and butter over low heat until the butter is just melted; then turn off the stove. Leave the sauce in the pot until ready to plate. |

To CompletePlace each Crab Cake on a small salad plate and spoon 1 tablespoon Mustard Cider Reduction on the cake and around the plate. Repeat with Walnut Brown Butter, placing 1 tablespoon of the sauce on the cake and around the plate. Then take a small pinch of baby mixed greens and place them on top of the Crab Cake. Take a teaspoon of the Walnut Brown Butter and drizzle it on the greens. Lastly, pick up a fork and begin to devour your creation. |
