CRAB CAKE RECIPE

CRAB CAKE RECIPE
This simple crab cake recipe makes a refreshing yet savory dish that's perfect for the summer months and beyond. OLD BAY® Seasoning, French's® Classic Yellow Mustard, parsley flakes, mayo and egg combine to form this deliciously golden-brown crabmeat patty. Served on a lightly toasted bun or enjoyed on its own, we love adding a fresh slice of lemon, tomatoes and lettuce for a bright yet satisfying bite. Make it a full meal by adding a side of herb roasted potatoes, grilled veggies, creamed corn or a colorful slaw.

Yields: 3 servings
Cuisine: American
Number of ingredients: 15
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound fresh, lump crab meat (* I get mine from Whole Foods or Central Market)
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons good mayonnaise (* I used Sir Kensington's)
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard (* I use Annie's or HEB)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground bay leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour (can be gluten free)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup grapeseed, canola, or avocado oil - you may need more or less depending on the size of your pan

How to cook:
  1. In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil (or just more of whatever oil you want to use for frying) and saute the chopped celery and red pepper over medium heat until softened - about 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Combine crab (watch out for rogue shells) with cooked pepper and celery, scallions, egg, mayo, mustard, spices, and flour. Cover a sheet or plate with parchment paper and shape into large pucks as best as you can (mixture will be a bit sticky). You should have 6-7 large crab cakes. Pop in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to an hour, which will help them hold together.
  3. In a bowl or deep plate, add your panko. Gently press each crab cake into panko, coating both sides. In a large, nonstick pan, add oil and heat over medium high. When the oil is hot, add the crab cakes and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. If you have a splatter screen, I highly recommend using it.
  4. Lay out paper towels on a sheet pan and place cooked crab cakes on top. If you're working in batches, you can place the drained crab cakes in a warm oven (about 200 degrees) until all are finished. Top with homemade tartar sauce.
