Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 16 oz lump crab meat drained and picked over for shells
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.5 cup remoulade sauce for serving
  • 2 tbsp olive oil spray

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, gently mix together the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, beaten egg, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Shape the mixture into 8 patties and place them on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold together while cooking.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray.
  • Place the crab cakes in the basket in a single layer, spray the top with olive oil spray, and cook for 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  • Serve warm with remoulade sauce on the side.

Notes

These crab cakes are best served fresh, but they can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
