Crab Cake
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Crab Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together, being careful not to break the crab meat.

Add the Binder
Add the egg and half of the panko breadcrumbs to the crab mixture. Mix gently until combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more panko until it holds together.

Form the Cakes
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a thick patty. Coat the outside of each crab cake with the remaining panko breadcrumbs.
