How to Make Acadia's Crab Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the shredded crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, red onion, celery, egg, panko bread crumbs, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the crab cakes tough.
  4. Form the mixture into 6-8 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  6. Cook the crab cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crab cakes are cooked through and heated thoroughly. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
