Crab Cakes

crab meat

panko bread crumbs

chives (, chopped fine)

lemon zest

bay seasoning

salt

Worcestershire

dijon mustard

Lemon wedges (, for serving)

Remoulade (or Tartar Sauce, for serving)

Pick through the crab meat and remove any shell pieces that may have been missed by the packaging process. Set aside.

In a medium bowl mix together the rest of the ingredients, then gently fold in the crab meat until fully combined. The mixture should still be mostly crab, and should barely hold together. Gently form these into 12 crab cakes (or 8 larger ones.)

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add in a few tablespoons of olive or vegetable oil, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan; swirl to coat.

In 2 batches, gently place the crab cakes in the hot oil and pan fry for about 4 minutes, flip cakes over and fry for another 4 minutes (adjusting your heat if they&#39;re over-browning too fast.)

Transfer crab cakes to a plate and serve while still warm. Enjoy with lemon wedges, remoulade sauce or tartar sauce.

These Maryland crab cakes are fresh crab combined with seasonings and cracker crumbs, then baked to make an easy yet elegant appetizer or main course. The best crab cakes you&#039;ll ever eat!

The BEST Crab Cakes recipe couldn&#39;t be more delicious or easy, made with fresh lump crab meat, bell pepper, cilantro, mayo and spices. Serve them as an appetizer or main dish, topped with our crab cakes sauce.

lump crab meat*

bell pepper ((yellow, red,

eggs (, separated)

Old Bay Seasoning

garlic (, minced)

Tablespoon fresh cilantro (, chopped)

salt and black pepper (, to taste)

cornstarch

olive oil

Tablespoons chives (, finely chopped)

lime juice

chipotle chili powder

salt and black pepper

Make the sauce by combining the ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve. (Can be made several days in advance).

Mix crab and seasonings: In a mixing bowl add the crab meat, bell peppers, one beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, mayo, garlic, cilantro and salt and pepper. Gently stir just until blended. 

Refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to 5 hours.

Form Crab Cakes: Beat the remaining egg and add to a shallow dish. Add the panko bread crumbs to another dish. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mixture into your palm and flatten into a small disc, about 3 inches in diameter. Sprinkle the outsides of the crab cake patties with a tiny bit of cornstarch. 

Dip each patty lightly in the beaten egg, and then coat them lightly with panko bread crumbs. I try to avoid doing a thick coating of crumbs because I like the crab flavor to shine through as much as possible.&nbsp;

Cook: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown on bottom. Gently flip to the other side and cook for another 3 minutes, or until golden. Remove to a plate.

Serve warm with chipotle mayo sauce for dipping.

I love these crab cakes.  I have had them at Pappadeaux's and wondered if you know what sauce or remoulade they serve under the cakes on the plate. Thanks for your great recipes and time.

Deliciously juicy Maryland Crab Cakes are easy to make and a great way of showcasing one of the best seafood ingredients! They can be served large for a main course or small as appetizers that will be the talk of your event!

Maryland Crab Cakes Recipe

green onions (green parts only, chopped)

worcestershire sauce

table salt

white pepper

breadcrumbs

Lemon wedges & a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Tartar sauce (creamy chipotle chile sauce, remoulade sauce, cocktail sauce, etc.)

Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.

Combine green onions, mayo, egg, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk together with a fork.

Add the crab meat and breadcrumbs, then toss gently to evenly moisten. Try not to break up the crab meat any more than necessary.

Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup sprayed with nonstick spray to scoop out 6 equal-sized mounds. Gently shape them into mounds or fat, round discs about 2 1/2 inches across and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly golden brown on top and around the edges.

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and lemon wedges for squirting over the crab cakes.

I was born and raised near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.  I have ha hundreds of crabcakes and made hundreds of my own.  I have never had one or seen a recipe that called for green onions though.  I’m not saying it wouldn’t be tasty, but with the price of crab meat, I just wouldn’t want to risk messing them up.  Your recipe sounds fine otherwise, with me small change that I got from an old waterman’s wife on the Eastern Shore:  substitute finely ground Saltine crackers for the breadcrumbs.  About 13 crackers will give you a half a cup which is perfect for a pound of crabmeat.  The crackers will also impart a little bit f salt, so keep that in mind.  I also use a dash of red wine vinegar

Enjoyed this ....I live in Minneapolis but grew up 
in Maryland ( home of Old Bay and Maryland Blue Crabs.
This recipe was the best and I have tried several others.

We rang in the New Year with fish and lasagna...so yummy!  But the outstanding recipe for the evening was the jumbo lump crab meat cakes...absolute perfection!  Everyone agreed that the simplicity and "non cakey" texture was what sets these crab delights from all others.  I might add just a little more mayo for bind but not necessary.  I also prepared the batter in the morning and put in fridge until I was ready to form and bake.  Served with a homemade tarter sauce...bon appetit!

Been our go-to crab cake recipe for a long time…No frying..no grease..just crab cakes as God wanted them to be
Thanks Amy

Maryland Style Crab Cake Recipe

BLUE crab meat

Old Bay Seasoning (, plus more for garnish)

bread crumbs

egg (lightly beaten)

Dab the 2 pounds jumbo lump BLUE crab meat with paper towels to get out excess moisture. Try not to break apart any of the large crab meat lumps. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. 

Add the crab meat, 1 cup Panko bread crumbs and lightly beaten 1 large egg. Toss lightly using your fingers until just moist, again, trying to not break apart any crab meat lumps. If it isn&#39;t sticking, add more panko slowly until it binds. Carefully form 8 jumbo crab cakes or 16 crab balls.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease. Place the crab cakes on baking sheet. 

Preheat the broiler to high heat. Place 4-5 inches from heating element. Broil until lightly brown on top, approximately 7-8 minutes.

I only made with 1 lb of crabmeat so I halved the ingredients and put my little spin on them. Delicious 😋 
It was quick and easy to gather ingredients.

Good recipe but it missed the celery &amp; pinch of parsley.

Excellent recipe. My husband is from Maryland, and he approves!

I've tried different recipes, here and there, and I believe I've now found the one! This recipe hits all the hallmarks of a true Maryland crabcake. Thank you for sharing!

Oops, forgot to fill in the stars from my previous post.

I no longer live in Maryland and really wanted crab cakes. Made these for dinner last night when my son and his new bride were visiting us. She has never had crab cakes before and we wanted her to understand what we were telling her about. These were the best crab cakes I have ever made! The only substitution I made was using gluten free bread crumbs because my son is allergic to gluten.

Amazing! Being from Baltimore I am very picky and this is the closest to Maryland Crab Cakes that you can make and furthermore buy here in the South! Yummy 😋

I have made these and they are delicious and am making them again today
