Crab Cakes

Method

Preparing the Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Mixing Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the Dungeness crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Forming the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  3. 3

    Cooking the Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Making the Remoulade Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
