Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked wild rice
- 1 pound Lump crab meat
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked wild rice, lump crab meat, and 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs. Set aside the remaining breadcrumbs for coating.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the crab and wild rice mixture, gently folding everything together until well combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat until you have about 8-10 cakes.
Place the remaining panko breadcrumbs on a plate. Carefully coat each crab cake in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the crab cakes in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove cooked crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a fresh green salad.
