Crab Cakes

Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, shape the crab mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick. You should get approximately 8 crab cakes.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Place the crab cakes on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  4. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

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

Zesty Remoulade Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Sauce

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

  2. 6

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover the remoulade sauce and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
