How to Make Delicious Crab Cakes
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound crab meat (fresh or imitation), 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gently mix until all ingredients are well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape the mixture into 8 (3-ounce) patties or cakes.
- Place the crab cakes on a plate and coat each side generously in 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
- Place the breaded crab cakes on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. This step helps them hold their shape during cooking.
- Remove from the freezer. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully add the crab cakes to the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- For the Honey-Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 2 tablespoons honey, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
- Serve the crab cakes immediately with the honey-mustard sauce (optional).
