Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams lump crabmeat
- 60 grams breadcrumbs
- 60 grams mayonnaise
- 15 grams Dijon mustard
- 1 whole egg
- 5 ml Worcestershire sauce
- 5 grams Old Bay seasoning
- 10 grams fresh parsley, chopped
- 10 ml lemon juice
- 2 grams salt
- 2 grams black pepper
- 30 ml vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break apart the crabmeat.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties about 2.5 cm thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cooked crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with a side of tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or your favorite dipping sauce.
