Ingrédients
  

  • 1 pound crab meat, picked over for shells
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, beaten egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix as you want the crab meat to remain chunky.
  • Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook the crab cakes in batches, about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • For the lemon aioli, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, lemon zest, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  • Serve the crab cakes hot, with the lemon aioli on the side.
