Ingredients
- 1 lb Phillips crab meat jumbo lump or backfin
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Crab Meat: Gently pick through the Phillips crab meat to remove any shells or cartilage. Be careful not to break the delicate lumps of crab meat.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well-combined.
- Add the Crab Meat: Gently fold in the crab meat. Be sure not to over-mix, as you want to preserve the lump texture of the crab.
- Form the Crab Cakes: Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Aim for 6-8 patties, depending on your desired size.
- Chill the Crab Cakes: Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them hold their shape while frying.
- Cook the Crab Cakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil. Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Serve your Maryland crab cakes hot with a squeeze of lemon or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
