Method
Preparation
Prepare the Crab Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and egg. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Stir in the finely chopped green onions and panko breadcrumbs to the crab mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix until evenly combined.
Forming and Cooking
Shape the Crab Cakes
Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Crab Cakes
Cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.
Cook the Crab Cakes
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
Transfer the cooked crab cakes to a serving plate and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
