Method

Preparing the Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Mixing the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the blue crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, egg, green onions, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Forming Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  3. 3

    Frying the Cakes

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

Making the Caper Dill Sauce

  1. 4

    Combining Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, capers, fresh dill, lemon juice, and salt to taste.

Cooking the New Potatoes

  1. 5

    Boiling and Seasoning

    In a pot, boil new potatoes until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Preparing the Lemony Dressed Greens

  1. 6

    Dressing the Greens

    In a bowl, combine mixed greens with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
