Ingredients

• 1 lb Fresh lump crab meat
• 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 Egg
• 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, gently pick through the crab meat to remove any remaining shells, being careful not to break up the meat too much.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, lemon juice, and egg until well combined.

Step 3

Add the wet mixture to the crab meat and gently fold together using a spatula.

Step 4

Sprinkle 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper over the crab mixture and carefully fold until just combined. Reserve the remaining 0.5 cup of panko for coating the cakes.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and gently form each into a patty about 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Place the reserved panko breadcrumbs on a plate and lightly press each patty into the crumbs to coat both sides.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 7

Place the crab cakes in the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove cooked crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining crab cakes.

Step 9

Serve warm with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
