*INGREDIENTS:
°1 large egg
°2½ tsp mayonnaise
°1½ tsp Dijon mustard (I like the Maille brand)
°1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
°1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
°¼ tsp salt
°¼ cup diced celery (you’ll need a stem)
°2 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley
°1 pound crab pieces*
°½ cup panko (I like the Whole Foods 365 brand for this recipe)
°Canola oil
*Methods:
1. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. In a large bowl, combine the egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, Old Bay, salt, celery and parsley. Add crab meat (check for hard, sharp cartilage) and panko; gently stir in until just combined, taking care not to shred the crab meat. Shape 6 crab patties (about ½ cup each) and place on a prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat with canola oil. When the oil is hot, place the crab cakes in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Be careful as the oil can splash. Serve immediately with a tartar sauce or a pinch of lemon.
Enjoy !
