Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Prepare crab cakes: Place half of the cracker crumbs in a large bowl. Add the egg, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, celery leaves and seeds, mustard powder, chili pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Add the crab meat and mix gently. Form the meatballs into six patties. Transfer the remaining cracker crumbs to a plate and roll the patties in the crumbs. Transfer the patties to a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and chill until firm, 2 to 6 hours.
  2. Prepare the sauce: Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, pickles, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and green onions in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

  3. Preheat oven to 230°C. Drizzle the patties with melted butter and place in the top rack of the oven. Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the salad: Combine the lettuce, endive, tomatoes, celery, green onions, chervil, and parsley in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste and toss gently. Serve the crab cakes with the sauce and salad.
