Ingredients
- 1 pound Lump crab meat
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 6 crackers, finely crushed Saltine crackers
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, parsley, and lemon juice. Whisk until fully blended.
Step 2
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break up the lumps too much.
Step 3
Add the finely crushed saltine crackers and gently mix until the mixture just holds together. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into 1-inch-thick patties. Place the patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the crab cakes to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd, and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and heated through.
Step 7
Transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or a light salad.
