3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

2 tsp. Dijon Mustard

Kosher Salt to taste

1 c. vegetable oil
Crab Toast
-
8 oz. lump crabmeat, picked over

Directions
-
to make aioli, whisk egg yolk, garlic, lemon zest and juice, mustard, and a touch of salt in a mixing bowl. While whisking, slowly add oil, drop by drop, until aioli is thickened and smooth; season with more salt and more lemon juice, if desired. Can be made ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator.
-
For the crab toast, toss crabmeat, fennel, chili pepper, and 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium-size bowl.
-
Drizzle both sides of bread with remaining oil, toast in a large skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
-
Spread each piece of toast with 1 tablespoon of aioli. Top with crabmeat. Cut each toast into 4 pieces. Place a small dab of aioli in the center of each piece. Serve with lemon wedges. Crabmeat can be made ahead of time and refrigerated.
