Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lump crab meat
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Green onions, finely chopped
- 4 tbsp Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
- 4 pieces Sandwich buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 cup Remoulade sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine lump crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and chopped green onions.
Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Using your hands or a large spoon, portion the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Place the patties on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them firm up.
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add 2 crab patties to the skillet.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they're golden-brown and heated through. Repeat with the remaining oil and crab patties.
Lightly toast the sandwich buns in a clean skillet or toaster if desired.
Assemble the Crabby Jacks: Spread a generous amount of remoulade sauce on the top and bottom halves of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a crab cake and a slice or two of tomato.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve warm with your favorite side dish.
