Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the Dungeness crab meat, rock crab meat, mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the crab mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the cakes hold their shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
