Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, mayonnaise, egg, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chopped green onions, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Place the formed patties on a plate.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and drain on a paper towel. Serve warm with a side of orange marmalade for dipping.
