Many people claim to have the true Maryland crab cake, but this one uses all lump meat with almost no filler added and tastes incredible! Let me know what you think!

OVEN-ROASTED CRAB CAKES



Oven-Roasted Crab Cakes image

We had about a bunch of king crab left over and my hubby wanted me to make crab cakes with it. I'd never made them before so I did some research. This recipe is a combination of a few different ones - but came out GREAT! He was VERY happy and it is now going to be a repeat recipe! Hope you enjoy it too!

Categories     Healthy

Time 18m

Yield 6 cakes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 ounces shelled cooked crabmeat
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Sort through crab and discard any bits of shell. Press out moisture with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, combine celery, minced chives, mayonnaise, egg, mustard, and Old Bay; mix well with a fork.
  • Add crab and 1/4 cup panko; stir gently just to mix.
  • Put in fridge for 1/2 an hour or more if time permits.
  • Put remaining panko in a shallow bowl.
  • Shape crab mixture into about 6 cakes about a 1/2 inch thick.
  • Place each cake in panko to coat on each side - place on baking stone or dish and reform into shape. Should be sort of flat across - about a 1/2 inch thick - and formed around the edges.
  • Bake in a 475°F regular or convection oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • With a spatula, transfer crab cakes to a platter. Add any sauce you want - but they turned out great without any sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat will give your crab cakes the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat is a good substitute.
  • Don't overmix the crab cakes: Overmixing the crab cakes will make them tough. Mix them just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a light hand when forming the crab cakes: Gently form the crab cakes into patties. Don't pack them too tightly, or they will be dense and dry.
  • Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat: Pan-frying the crab cakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce: Crab cakes are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or lemon butter sauce.

Conclusion:

Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them pan-fried, baked, or grilled, crab cakes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
