Ingredients
- 1 pound Lump crab meat
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and egg. Whisk until well blended.
Step 2
Gently fold in the crab meat, parsley, and panko breadcrumbs. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Step 3
Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties, about 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them set.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, gently place the crab cakes into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a wedge of lemon for extra zest.
