Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound lump crab meat
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onion to garnish

Instructions

  1. Pick through crab meat and make sure there are no shells. Place into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  2. Stir in bread crumbs, mayo, egg, mustard, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, old bay, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Take about 1/4 cup of the crab mixture and shape into a patty. Repeat with remaining crab mixture. Spread flour out onto a plate. Dip crab cake into flour on both sides to coat and gently brush off excess.
  4. Pour enough oil into a large skillet to cover the bottom and heat over medium high heat. Working in batches as needed, fry crab cakes in hot oil until golden brown 3 to 5 minutes on each side, adding more oil between batches.
  5. Transfer fried crab cakes to a paper towel lined plate to drain before serving hot. Garnish with green onions.
