Crab Cakes

Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into two equal-sized patties. Ensure they hold together well.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Place the formed crab cakes on a plate and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  4. 4

    Pan-Seer

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Remoulade Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix Sauce Ingredients

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

  2. 6

    Chill Sauce

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