Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, egg, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, sea salt and pepper until the wet ingredients are well-combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the crab meat, panko breadcrumbs and parsley until. Stir in the mayonnaise-egg mixture until everything is well combined. Note: you can also combine all of the ingredients in a food processor if you'd like.
- Form 8 patties out of the crab mixture.
- Add a generous amount of oil (about 3 tablespoons) to a large skillet and heat over medium heat to medium-high heat. Allow the skillet to heat up for a few minutes until it is sizzling hot but not smoking. Carefully place the crab cakes on the hot skillet and pan fry for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until crispy. You will likely need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
- Transfer the crab cakes to a serving plate and serve with sliced lemons, cocktail sauce, and tartar sauce and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions. Serve crab cakes as an appetizer or alongside your main dish for a delicious side dish.
Notes
- *Use regular Panko breadcrumbs if you don't follow a gluten-free diet.
- Store leftover crab cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- You can reheat crab cakes in the air fryer, oven, skillet, or microwave.
