Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh lump crab meat
- 120 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 60 grams mayonnaise
- 1 egg
- 15 grams Dijon mustard
- 5 milliliters Worcestershire sauce
- 5 grams Old Bay seasoning
- 2 grams lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 milliliters vegetable oil
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 8 tomato slices
- 60 grams tartar sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spatula to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to help them hold together while cooking.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the crab patties to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in another skillet or under a broiler.
To assemble the crab burgers, spread a layer of tartar sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by a tomato slice, then the cooked crab patty. Top with another tomato slice, if desired, and seal with the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
