Make-Ahead:
The tartar sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead and the crab mixture can be made up to 1 day ahead. Cover the sauce and crab mixture separately and refrigerate.
To prepare and cook the crab:

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.

In a large bowl, whisk the first 8 ingredients. Mix in the crabmeat and panko, breaking up the crabmeat slightly. Let stand 15 minutes. 

Using a 3-inch ring mold, form the crab mixture into 8 patties on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

In each of 2 large heavy skillets, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the skillets and cook until golden on both sides, adding more butter and oil as needed, about 5 minutes total.

To make the tartar sauce:

In a medium bowl, whisk all the ingredients to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Coverand refrigerate up to 2 days.

To serve:
Mound the lettuce on 4 plates. Set 2 crab cakes on each plate. Top with the tartar sauce and serve with lemon wedges.
