ACTIVE 15 min.
TOTAL 1 hour, 15 min.
You probably have most of the ingredients on hand for these simple, elegant crab cakes; just make a quick run to the seafood market for fresh lump crabmeat. Toss together a bright, seasonal salad while the crab cakes chill.
3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
½ tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 lb. lump crabmeat, picked
2/3 cup panko
2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 Tbsp. butter
1. Whisk together first 5 ingredients in a bowl. Gently stir in crab, panko, and parsley. Shape mixture into 12 (3-inch) patties, pressing gently to flatten. Place patties on a baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
2. Melt 1½ tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 patties to pan; cook 2½ minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove crab cakes from pan; repeat with remaining 1½ tablespoons butter and remaining 6 patties. Serves 6.
