Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are incorporated, taking care not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 4 oz in size. Place the formed cakes on a plate and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Once hot, carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Prepare Grilled Asparagus

    While the crab cakes are cooking, preheat a grill or grill pan. Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then grill for about 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Serve with Roasted Pepper Aioli

    Plate the crab cakes alongside the grilled asparagus. Serve with roasted pepper aioli for dipping or drizzling.
