Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice and some lemon zest
- 1 pound lump crab meat see note below
- ½ cup panko (use gluten-free for GF version)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper, parsley and lemon juice & zest in a large bowl and mix well.
- Add the crab meat (be sure to check the meat for any hard and sharp cartilage) and panko; using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined, being careful not to shred the crab meat.
- Shape into 6 cakes (each about ½ cup) and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps them set.
- Preheat a large nonstick pan to medium heat and coat with olive oil. When the oil is hot, place the crab cakes in the pan and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Be careful as oil may splatter.
- Serve immediately with tartar sauce, remoulade or a squeeze of lemon.
Notes
- Be sure to check the crab meat for any hard and sharp cartilage before mixing with the other ingredients.
- It's best to use fresh lump crab meat found in the refrigerated seafood section of the grocery store.
- Allow time to let the crab cakes chill in the fridge. This will help them to set and hold together when you fry them.
- Use a large ice cream scoop or a measuring cup (1/2 cup for regular or 1/4 cup for smaller crab patties) to portion even crab cakes.
- Wet your hands. Dip your hands in a bowl of water before forming each pattie to prevent the crab mixture from sticking to your hands.
- Let the oil get hot before cooking the patties in the skillet.
