Form the mixture into patties and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold together.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
For the remoulade sauce, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Toast the brioche buns lightly. Assemble the sandwich by placing a crab cake on the bottom half of the bun, topping it with remoulade sauce, and covering with the top half of the bun.
