MARYLAND CRAB CAKES RECIPE (LITTLE FILLER)

Steps:

• Whisk the egg, mayonnaise, parsley, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, lemon juice, and salt together in a large bowl. Place the crab meat on top, followed by the cracker crumbs. With a rubber spatula or large spoon, very gently and carefully fold together. You don't want to break up that crab meat!
• Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Generously grease a rimmed baking sheet with butter or nonstick spray or line with a silicone baking mat.
• Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, portion the crab cake mixture into 6 mounds on the baking sheet. (Don't flatten!) Use your hands or a spoon to compact each individual mound so there aren't any lumps sticking out or falling apart. For extra flavor, brush each with melted butter. This is optional but recommended!
• Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges and on top. Drizzle each with fresh lemon juice and serve warm.
• Cover leftover crab cakes tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

• Fold in the crab gently. Only mix enough to combine ingredients (take care not to break up the crab into fine shreds).
• Shape into 6 crab cakes, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the crab cakes until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Serve the crab cakes with tartar sauce, rémoulade , or simply with a squeeze of lemon.
