Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • ½ teaspoon hot sauce

  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 pound cooked jumbo lump crabmeat, drained and picked over for shells

  • ¾ cup panko bread crumbs

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, or more as needed

Directions

  1. Whisk mayonnaise, egg, Dijon, Worcestershire, and hot sauce together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Mix crabmeat, panko, and parsley together in a medium bowl. Gently fold in mayonnaise mixture. Form into 8 patties.

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties in batches and cook until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as needed.

Cook's Note:

You may substitute crushed saltine crackers for the panko bread crumbs.
