Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Mix the Crab Cake Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Gently fold until all ingredients are well mixed.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the crab cakes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

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