Ingredients

• 16 oz fresh lump crab meat
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, and the lightly beaten egg until smooth.

Step 3

Add the wet mixture to the crab meat and gently fold together until combined.

Step 4

Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the mixture and gently fold again, just until the breadcrumbs are incorporated.

Step 5

Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches wide. Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 7

Fry the crab cakes in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

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