Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh crab meat
- 120 grams Breadcrumbs
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and the beaten egg.
Add the chopped parsley, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat.
Using your hands, divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and gently form them into patties, about 2.5 cm thick. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to help them hold their shape.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the patties to the skillet, being sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Transfer the cooked crab patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the crab patties warm with your choice of dipping sauce, a side salad, or lemon wedges for garnish.
