Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the blue crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the formed patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Patties

    Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them set.

  4. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with citrus remoulade.
