Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Fresh lump crab meat
- 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 Egg
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, gently pick through the crab meat to remove any remaining shells, being careful not to break up the meat too much.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, lemon juice, and egg until well combined.
Add the wet mixture to the crab meat and gently fold together using a spatula.
Sprinkle 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper over the crab mixture and carefully fold until just combined. Reserve the remaining 0.5 cup of panko for coating the cakes.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and gently form each into a patty about 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Place the reserved panko breadcrumbs on a plate and lightly press each patty into the crumbs to coat both sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Place the crab cakes in the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove cooked crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining crab cakes.
Serve warm with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
