Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter and stir-fry the chopped onion over medium-low heat until tender. Remove the onion and transfer it to a bowl. Stir in the parsley leaves, crab meat, bread crumbs, and flour.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and Old Bay seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir the mixture into the crab mixture until well combined.
  3. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Form the crab mixture into 12 flattened rounds and place them on the sheet. Cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
  4. In a heavy skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over moderate heat. Cook the crab cakes until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve the crab cakes warm.
