Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped parsley, green onions, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together to avoid breaking the crab meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Using your hands, form the crab mixture into 6-8 patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Crab Cakes

    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.

  4. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crab cakes warm with remoulade and mustard aioli on the side.
