Method

Crab Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab meat.

  2. 2

    Add Other Ingredients

    Add the egg, breadcrumbs, and chopped green onions to the crab mixture. Stir until just combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cakes

    Place the crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  5. 5

    Cook the Cakes

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Remoulade Directions

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 7

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the remoulade and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or hot sauce to suit your taste.
