Mix the Crab Cake Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Form the Crab Cakes
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. You should get around 6-8 crab cakes depending on the size. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill the Crab Cakes
Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the cakes to firm up.

Prepare the Asparagus

Season and Roast
Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss to coat evenly, then spread them out in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy.

Cook the Crab Cakes
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
