Classic Crab Cakes
- 1 1/2 pounds crabmeat cooked
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup Italian parsley finely chopped
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper freshly
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- paprika
- lemon wedges
- Place the crabmeat in a large mixing bowl, pinching through the pile with your fingers to find any bits of shell and to break up large pieces. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, parsley, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper; fold to combine. Add the eggs and fold to combine.
- To form patties, on a tray, pat about 1/4 cup of the mixture into a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, then lift off the cutter, forming 16 cakes. Cover with plastic wrap, press lightly, and chill at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place remaining bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Lightly dredge both sides of 8 cakes in bread crumbs and add to skillet. Press lightly with a spatula and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Transfer to a shallow baking pan. Repeat with remaining cakes, adding more oil, if necessary. Top each cake with a slice of butter and bake for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika and serve with lemon wedges.
- From the Test KitchennLook for refrigerated tubs or cans of pasteurized crabmeat. Matt and Ted recommend using a mixture of lump and claw meat.
