Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, and chopped fresh parsley. Be careful not to break the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Add Breadcrumbs

    Slowly fold in the breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Shape the Crab Cakes

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties (about 3-4 inches wide). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 4

    Chill

    Refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up before cooking.

  3. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
