Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl combine all ingredients except tartar sauce. Stir thoroughly.
  2. Drizzle a bit of olive oil into a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Scoop crab mixture using a ice cream scoop. Form into a patty (less than 1/2 inch thick), then place in oiled skillet.
  4. Cook in pan 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and crisp on the outsides. (If outside is getting too browned before the center cooks through, just turn the heat down a bit) Repeat with remaining crab mixture.
  5. Serve warm with tartar sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • If the outside of your patties is getting too browned before the center cooks through, just turn the heat down a bit on your burner and continue to cook, watching so they don't burn.
  • Cooked crab cakes will keep in the fridge for up to three days.
  • If you don't have panko, you can substitute regular, plain breadcrumbs or Italian style breadcrumbs instead.
