Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb King crab meat
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.333 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 large Egg
- 2 stalks Green onion (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup Red bell pepper (finely diced)
- 2 tbsp Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil or butter (for frying)
Instructions
In a large bowl, gently combine the king crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, green onion, red bell pepper, parsley, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix just until the ingredients are evenly distributed, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to help them firm up.
Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the crab cakes into the skillet, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the crab cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Gently flip them using a spatula to avoid breaking them.
Remove the cooked crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crab cakes hot with your choice of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, remoulade, or a squeeze of fresh lemon. Enjoy!
