Crab Cakes with Lemon Aioli

The best crab cakes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and bursting with fresh seafood flavor. Too many versions lean heavily on fillers, but these plump cakes are loaded with sweet crabmeat, with just enough additional ingredients to flavor and bind them, ensuring that the crustacean remains the star.
