For the Crab Cakes:
1 lb lump crab meat, picked over for shells
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Remoulade Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp hot sauce
1 tsp capers, chopped
1 tbsp pickle relish
1 tsp paprika
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
In a bowl, mix crab meat, mayo, egg, Dijon, Worcestershire, Old Bay, green onions, celery, panko, salt, and pepper.
Gently form into 6-8 crab cakes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine all remoulade sauce ingredients in a bowl. Chill until ready to serve.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry crab cakes 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Serve warm with remoulade sauce on the side.
For extra crispiness, lightly coat the crab cakes with more panko before frying.
Use fresh lump crab meat for best flavor.
Chill the mixture before shaping to help them hold together better.
