Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, carefully pick through the crabmeat to remove any shells or cartilage, being sure not to break up the delicate lumps of crab.

  2. Add the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, beaten egg, parsley, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper to the crabmeat. Gently fold the mixture together until well combined, being careful not to overmix.

  3. Divide the crab mixture into equal portions and shape them into round cakes, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them set.

  4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  5. Transfer the cooked crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley and a side of lemon wedges for a fresh citrus flavor.
