Crab Cake Ingredients

Remoulade Sauce Ingredients

Method

Crab Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Add Eggs and Bread Crumbs

    Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and then add them to the crab mixture. Gradually stir in the bread crumbs until everything is well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  5. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Remoulade Sauce Directions

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 7

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover the remoulade sauce and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
