Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, egg, lemon juice, chopped parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Gently fold the lump crab meat into the mixture, being careful not to break up the crab too much.

Add the panko breadcrumbs and gently mix until the mixture just holds together.
Step 4
Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties, about 2.5 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
Step 5
Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Place the cooked crab cakes on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, lemon aioli, or cocktail sauce.
