Ingredients
- 1 pound Lump crab meat
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable or canola oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, gently mix together crab meat, 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break the crab meat too much to retain texture.
Step 2
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick.
Step 3
Place the remaining 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs on a plate. Coat each crab cake evenly in the breadcrumbs by gently pressing them on all sides.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 5
Cook the crab cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to gently flip them to avoid breaking.
Step 6
Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, lemon wedges, or a simple salad.
