Ingredients
- 1 lb Lump crabmeat
- 0.3333 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (panko or seasoned)
- 2 tbsp Butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, chopped parsley, and green onions. Mix until well blended.
Step 2
Gently fold in the lump crabmeat, being careful not to break up the meat too much.
Step 3
Add the breadcrumbs gradually, folding them in until the mixture just holds together. You may not need the full cup of breadcrumbs, so add as needed.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3 inches wide.
Step 5
Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up (optional, but helps prevent crumbling).
Step 6
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then melt the butter in the skillet.
Step 7
Cook the crab cakes in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Step 8
Remove from skillet and serve immediately with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or your favorite accompaniment.
