Ingredients

  • 9 ounces shelled king crab meat
  • 1 tablespoon chopped celery leaves
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fleur de sel
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Red-pepper flakes
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 hot-dog buns
  • 1 tablespoon minced chives

    Serves 4

    Preparation

    1. Squeeze the crab meat between your hands to remove all the moisture and then break into large pieces and place in a large bowl. Add the celery leaves, mayonnaise and lemon juice and mix well. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.
    2. In a nonstick skillet set over low heat, heat the butter until it begins to foam. Brown the hot-dog buns on both sides and set aside to cool slightly.
    3. Spread 1/4 of the mixture into each bun and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
