Crab Cakes

Method

Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped parsley, and chopped green onion. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Add the binders

    Add the panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Gently fold everything together until just combined.

  3. 3

    Shape the cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Chill the patties

    Refrigerate the crab cake patties for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

  5. 5

    Cook the crab cakes

    In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

Zesty Remoulade

  1. 6

    Combine the ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, hot sauce, minced garlic, chopped capers, and chopped parsley until well combined.

  2. 7

    Chill the sauce

    Refrigerate the remoulade for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
