Quick & Easy Crab Cakes
July 14, 2022
No matter where you live, you deserve a good crab cake. Seasoned with Old Bay and held together with a mix of vinegary Dijon and creamy mayo, these crab cakes deliver a classic New England flavor without making the trip to Maryland. While much of the recipe is traditional, we veered away from the typical tartar sauce and paired our cakes with creamy Chipotle Lime Mayo for a smoky pepper flavor and a burst of citrus that makes them feel fresh and modern.

Directions
Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté for about 4 minutes. Do not brown. Remove from heat.
Combine crabmeat, sautéed veggies, breadcrumbs with egg, mayo, dijon mustard, salt and pepper, and Old Bay seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Thoroughly mix and combine ingredients.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape crab cakes and form patties. Place each patty on the sheet. Repeat this process until the entire mixture has been used up.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and add 3 to 4 crab cakes. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Brown for about 2 to 3 minutes and flip to brown the other side. Repeat this process until all crab cakes have been cooked.
