Categories     dinner     lunch

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb canned lump crab meat (remove loose shells)
1 large egg beaten
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp Djon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1 1/2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup Italian style bread crumbs or Panko
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, canola or corn oil
4 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp Sriracha sauce or hot sauce
1 tsp relish

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add and stir together all ingredients except for crab and bread crumbs.
  • Fold in the crab and bread crumbs until combined.
  • Quarter (score) the mixture with your hand. Each quarter will make 2 crab cakes. This will help make even size crab cakes. Form them into patties. If you have the time, refrigerate crab cakes for 15 minutes before pan frying to help them stay together.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan big enough to hold all of the crab cakes at once or fry them in two batches. Add crab cakes and cook 4-5 minutes on each side. You may need to add a little more oil, if necessary while pan frying.

1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup chopped dill pickles
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

Vegetable oil, for frying
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the tartar sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, pickles, scallions, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a medium bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Meanwhile, make the crab cakes: Mix the mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, lemon juice and Old Bay in a large bowl until combined. Add the panko and mix again. Add the crab and mix, taking care not to crush the meat. Shape the crab mixture into 8 patties, each about 3 inches in diameter. Cover and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a brown paper bag or a double layer of paper towels. Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet to come 1/2 inch up the side and heat over medium-high heat until the oil is hot but not smoking. Add the crab cakes in batches and cook until the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the cakes and continue cooking until golden, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the crab cakes to the lined baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while cooking the remaining cakes. Serve hot with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality crab meat. Fresh crab meat will have a sweet, briny flavor and a firm texture. Avoid crab meat that is mushy or has an off smell.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
  • Don't overcook the crab cakes. Crab cakes are best when they are cooked through but still moist and tender. Cook them over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve the crab cakes with a variety of dipping sauces. Tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon wedges are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile seafood dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or sandwich. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect crab cakes at home. So next time you're craving seafood, give this recipe a try.
