These tasty cakes are cooked until golden brown on your outdoor griddle and topped with a creamy, tangy Old Bay sauce that you'll want to drizzle over everything.
In a large bowl, mix the crab, panko, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and salt and pepper together.
Use your hands to shape the mixture into four ½-inch-thick patties (each one should be a generous ⅓ cup). Place the cakes on a plate or small baking sheet, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
Make the Old Bay aioli
While the crab cakes are chilling, whisk the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning together. Chill until you're ready to serve.
Cook the crab cakes
Heat one side of a Blackstone griddle (or other large flat top griddle) to medium-high. Coat it with cooking spray or slick lightly with oil.
Cook the crab cakes, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides and hot throughout, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Serve warm with the Old Bay aioli.
Notes
Wet hands--If the mixture is sticky, use wet hands for shaping the cakes.
Watch the heat--If your crab cakes begin to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium
Dietary--This recipe is suitable for dairy-free diets.
