Crab Cakes

Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the blue crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, old bay seasoning, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  3. 3

    Cook Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Spicy Remoulade Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, chopped capers, lemon juice, and chopped parsley until smooth and well combined.

Greens Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.

  2. 6

    Toss Greens

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens and drizzle with the dressing. Toss gently to combine.
