| 5 tablespoons dljon mustard | ||
| 1 cup fine unseasoned dry bread crumbs | ||
| Black pepper | 1/4 Teaspoon | |

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Line a baking pan with foil. Place the fish in the pan and brush with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Bake until opaque throughout, about 8 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crabmeat with the eggs, 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of the mustard, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, the black pepper, and cayenne. Stir in the scallions.
3. Flake the fish and combine it with the crabmeat mixture. Form the mixture into patties about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick and dredge them in the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs.
4. In a medium skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil with 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat until the butter melts. Add the fish cakes and fry until golden all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning carefully. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon each butter and oil as necessary to prevent sticking.
5. In a small bowl, combine the pickle relish, tarragon, and the remaining 3 tablespoons each mayonnaise and mustard.
6. Serve the fish cakes with the remoulade sauce on the side.
