ingredients

Crab Cakes.
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tsp. fresh parsley, minced
  • 1/2 Tsp. Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 Tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 pound lump crab meat
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Mustard Dipping Sauce.
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tsp. milk
  • 1/2 Tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 Tsp. A1 steak sauce
  • pinch of salt

directions

  • 1

    Mix mayonnaise, egg parsley, Old Bay Seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard together in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in breadcrumbs. Carefully fold in crab meat with a spatula being careful not to break up the chunks of crab meat.

  • 2

    Pour the panko breadcrumbs on a large plate. Form 4 crab cakes with hands. Make them into patties that are about 3 1/2 - 4 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. Press the patties down on the plate of breadcrumbs to coat each side of each patty with a layer of crumbs. Arrange the crab cakes on a plate and chill for 20 minutes. This will help the crab cakes hold together when they are cooked.

  • 3

    Make the dipping sauce by combining ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill until needed.

  • 4

    When crab cakes have rested, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium/low heat. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F/ 190 degree C.

  • 5

    When oil is hot, saute crab cakes for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Slide crab cakes onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes in the oven.

  • 6

    Serve with mustard dipping sauce on the side.
