Ingredients
- 450 g white crab meat
- 4 spring onions (finely sliced)
- 100 g mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon Tobasco
- 1 ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 40 g panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Making the Crab Cake Mixture
- Place crab meat, spring onions, mayonnaise, Tobasco, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground pepper in a large bowl.
- Mix together until well combined using a fork or your hands. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for a minimum of 30 minutes, up to 24 hours.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts of 60 grams each, or 6 equal parts of 80 grams each for bigger portions.
- Shape the mixture into patties using a ring cutter or your hands.
- Cover the crab cakes in panko breadcrumbs, and reshape them if necessary.
- Repeat the process for the rest of the crab cakes. Set them aside on a plate.
Cooking the Crab Cakes
- If you want your crab cakes deep brown color with extra crispiness, I suggest pan frying them on a very hot pan for a couple of minutes on each side before placing them into the air fryer basket.
- Simply heat your pan on high heat, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and sear your crab cakes for 2 minutes on each side.
- Place them in your air fryer basket and cook them for 8 minutes at 200° C (390° F).
- If you are not after that deep brown color and extra crispness, simply spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray, or line it with parchment paper.
- Place the crab cakes, spray them with some oil, and cook for 12-13 minutes at 200° C (390° F).

Notes
- Crab meat might contain some water and it is important that you squeeze out as much water as you can before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients.
- Let your crab cake mixture chill in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes, up to 24 hours.
- Grease the bottom of your air fryer basket with oil, or line it with parchment paper before placing the crab cakes to avoid them sticking.
- If you want your crab cakes deep brown color with extra crispiness, I suggest pan frying them on a very hot pan for a couple of minutes on each side before placing them into the air fryer basket.
- Spray the top of the crab cakes with oil to create golden color and crispness on them.
- You can make the crab cake mixture and shape them for up to 24 hours ahead and keep them refrigerated in an airtight container.
- Make smaller crab cakes and serve them as finger food for your parties.
- You can store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge or up to a month in the freezer.
