King Crab Rolls

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.
