Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
• Add in the onion, garlic, and carrots; saute and stir frequently for 3 minutes or until onions are soft.

• Transfer lobster mixture to a large mixing bowl.
• Add in eggs, mayonnaise, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste; stir to mix well.
• Add 1 cup of bread crumbs to lobster mixture; toss to mix.
• Add more breadcrumbs if needed so that mixture barely holds it shape.
• Take 1/4 cup lobster mixture and shape cakes by hand.
• Pour oil into a large nonstick skillet to 1/4 inch depth; heat over medium heat.
• When very hot, add lobster cakes.
• Cook for about 3 minutes per side (for a 1-inch thick cake) or until golden brown on both sides.

BLUSHING MAINE LOBSTER CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Oil a cookie sheet with olive oil. In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs with a wire whisk. Whisk in the ketchup, mayonnaise, butter, seasoned salt, and paprika. Stir in the pimentos and chives. Add lobster meat and 1/2 cup of the crushed butter crackers. Stir gently to combine. Form the mixture into 8 cakes, using a 1/3-cup measure for each. Dredge both sides of the cakes in the remaining 1/2 cup of cracker crumbs and place on oiled cookie sheet. Flatten slightly to make a 3-inch cake. Bake for 8 minutes, carefully turn each cake, and continue baking for another 8 minutes.
• Drizzle Rosey Sauce over cakes or serve on the side.
• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir until smooth.

FISH AND LOBSTER CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Place the fish on top of the vegetables and add the cream, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer for 6 to 12 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cod), until the fish is just cooked. Set aside in the pan for 10 minutes, then flake the fish into large pieces with a fork.
• Put 2 cups of the panko in a large bowl. Add the cod mixture, including the cooking liquid, the dill, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest, eggs, lobster, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper and mix gently.
• Using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop as a measure, shape the mixture into 14 (3-inch) fish cakes. Place the remaining 2 cups of panko on a plate and coat the cakes all over, patting the coating to adhere. Wipe the saute pan clean with a paper towel and heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan over medium heat. Place 5 cakes in the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned on both sides. Transfer the cakes to a sheet pan and keep them warm in the oven for up to 15 minutes. Repeat, adding more butter and oil, until the entire mixture is cooked. Serve hot with the remoulade sauce.
• Remoulade Sauce: Place the mayonnaise, cornichons, mustard, vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse a few times until the cornichons are finely chopped (not pureed). Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

LOBSTER CAKES

Steps:

• 1) Combine all ingredients (except for flour and oil) in a large bowl, being careful not to over-mix. 2) Portion out lobster mixture using a large ice cream scooper and shape into 3 inch cakes, set aside. 3) Place a large skillet over high heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. 4) Dust each portioned cake with flour and place into the hot skillet, turning once they have turned golden brown. Remove from skillet and place onto a sheet pan. 5) Enjoy.

LOBSTER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2 quart baking dish.
• Melt butter in a medium sized pot over low heat. Saute the lobster meat in butter until it starts to change color. Do not cook too long or too fast, or the lobster meat will toughen. With a slotted spoon, remove lobster meat from pan and set aside.
• To the remaining butter in the pot, stir in the flour, dry mustard, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in cream and milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Return lobster meat to the pot. Tear the bread into small pieces and stir into the mixture. Pour into prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and delicately browned.
