Crab Cake Recipe

Crab Cake Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Crab Mixture

   In a large bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break the crab meat too much.

2. 2

   Form the Crab Cakes

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

3. 3

   Chill the Crab Cakes

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

4. 4

   Cook the Crab Cakes

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

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the crab cakes on a bed of arugula, topped with pickled fennel, and drizzle with sriracha aioli if desired.
