Ingredients

• 1 pound lump crab meat
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, egg, parsley, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Using clean hands or a spoon, mix until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Step 3

Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 1 inch thick. Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them set.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gently add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 6

Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the crab cakes warm with your choice of dipping sauce—try tartar sauce, remoulade, or a squeeze of fresh lemon for an extra kick of flavor!
