Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, egg, chopped green onions, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the formed patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Remoulade Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Remoulade

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped capers, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 6

    Chill the Remoulade

    Cover the remoulade with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
