Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, green onions, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until all ingredients are well incorporated but avoid breaking the crab meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties. You can make them about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Cover the formed crab cakes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  4. 4

    Cook Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Remoulade Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped capers, lemon juice, hot sauce, and chopped parsley. Stir until well mixed and set aside.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the crab cakes hot, garnished with lemon wedges and a side of remoulade sauce for dipping.
