Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently fold until just combined. -
Form the Cakes:
Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches wide. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. -
Chill the Cakes:
Refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking. -
Heat the Oil:
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. -
Cook the Crab Cakes:
Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. -
Serve:
Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy with a squeeze of lemon or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a healthier option, bake the crab cakes at 200°C (400°F) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
