Ingredients
  

For the crab cakes

  • 8 ounces (227 g) crabmeat preferably lump
  • cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking spray or vegetable oil for the griddle

For the Old Bay aioli

Instructions
 

Make the crab cakes

  • 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.
