Crab Cakes
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, whole wheat bread crumbs, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, Dijon mustard, beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Form the Crab Cakes
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the formed patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the Crab Cakes
Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the cakes set.
Cook the Crab Cakes
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain them on paper towels before serving.
