Crab Cakes

Method

Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Add Crab and Bind

    Gently fold in the jumbo lump crab meat and breadcrumbs, being careful not to break up the crab meat. Add the beaten egg and mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick. Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.

  5. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Carefully add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 6

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it starts to bubble.

  2. 7

    Add Garlic and Lemon Juice

    Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, stir in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Remove the sauce from heat. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the crab cakes and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
