Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, beaten egg, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper until just mixed. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.

  4. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve with remoulade sauce and your choice of two sides.
