Ingredients

Scale

3 green onions, chopped
1 Tbsp butter
1 1/4 tsp garlic salt, divided
1 lb jumbo lump crab meat
1 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/4 cup diced roasted red pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp chopped Italian parsley
2 tsp seafood seasoning, divided
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
4 Tbsp salted butter or olive oil, for frying

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Green Onion Mixture Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a small skillet. Add chopped green onions and 1/4 tsp garlic salt and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until softened. Remove from the heat.
Step 2: Mix Ingredients In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sautéed green onion, 1 tsp garlic salt, crab meat, 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, diced roasted red pepper, beaten eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, 1 1/2 tsp seafood seasoning, and lemon pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
Step 3: Portion and Chill Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a 4 oz ice cream scoop to portion the crab mixture into cakes and chill for 30 minutes to help set their shape.
Step 4: Breadcrumb Coating In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 tsp seafood seasoning. Gently roll each chilled crab cake in this breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
Step 5: Fry the Crab Cakes Heat a few drizzles of olive oil in a non-stick skillet. Cook the crab cakes in batches for 3 minutes per side or until golden brown over medium-high heat. Add more oil as needed and press down gently to a thickness of about 1 inch after flipping.
