Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, eggs, breadcrumbs, green onions, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

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

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the crab cakes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes in batches and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm with tarragon vinaigrette and a side of radish, fennel, and mixed greens.
