Main Ingredients

For Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and the egg. Mix carefully to avoid breaking the crab meat pieces.

  2. 2

    Add Seasonings

    Add the finely chopped green onions, breadcrumbs, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the crab mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Chill

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

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 6

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with lemon wedges.
