Steelhead Diner Crab Cake
Ingredients:
– 1 pound fresh lump crabmeat
– 1/3 cup mayonnaise
– 1 large egg, beaten
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, carefully pick through the crabmeat to remove any shells. Be gentle to keep the crabmeat as intact as possible.
2. Add the mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, parsley, breadcrumbs, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the crabmeat.
3. Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to break up the lump crabmeat too much.
4. Using your hands, form the mixture into evenly sized crab cakes. You can make larger cakes for a main course or smaller cakes for appetizers.
5. Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the crab cakes hold their shape during cooking.
6. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and the skillet is hot.
7. Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
8. Fry the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
9. Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
10. Serve the Steelhead Diner Crab Cakes hot, garnished with a wedge of lemon and a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!
