Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 454 grams Lump crab meat
- 120 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 unit Large egg
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 15 ml Balsamic vinegar
- 10 grams Dijon mustard
- 15 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 15 grams Green onions, finely sliced
- 5 grams Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 4 unit Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, parsley, green onions, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the lumps of crab meat.
Shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 1.5 cm thick. Place the crab cakes on a parchment-lined plate or tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them firm up.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the crab cakes into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Cook the crab cakes for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through. Be gentle when flipping to keep them intact.
Transfer the cooked crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Balsamic Crab Cakes warm with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness. Enjoy!
