Crab Cake Ingredients

Cooking Ingredients

Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped celery, chopped green onion, parsley, beaten egg, salt, black pepper, and panko breadcrumbs until well mixed but being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    With your hands, divide the mixture into equal portions (about 6-8, depending on desired size) and shape each portion into a patty, pressing gently to hold together.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

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

Cooking the Crab Cakes

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Cook the Cakes

    Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
