Crab Cakes

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chopped green onion, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into two equal-sized patties. Make sure they hold together well; if too crumbly, add a little more mayonnaise.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Plate

    On a serving plate, create a bed of arugula. Place the cooked crab cakes on top of the arugula.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with spicy remoulade on the side or drizzled over the crab cakes.
