Broiled Crab Cakes Recipes

MARYLAND CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside. Keeping each pound of crabmeat separate, turn out onto paper towels; pick through to remove any shells or cartilage.
• In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, egg, mustard, Old Bay, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Add crumbs and small-size crabmeat to mayonnaise mixture; stir well to combine. Gently fold in large-size crabmeat to mayonnaise mixture just until combined. Dividing evenly, form mixture into 8 cakes. To make ahead, see Cook's Notes.
• Place cakes on prepared baking sheet; drizzle with melted butter. Broil until golden brown and warmed throughout, 12 to 15 minutes (move to lower shelf if tops brown too quickly). Serve with tarter sauce and lemon wedges.

MARYLAND CRAB CAKES III

Steps:

• Preheat oven on broiler setting. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, mix together crushed saltine crackers, mayonnaise, brown mustard, onion, celery, and Old Bay seasoning. Gently stir in the crabmeat. Shape into 6 patties. Place on prepared baking sheet.
• Broil crab cakes 8 to 10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

CLASSIC OLD BAY CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Break bread into small pieces in large bowl. Moisten with milk. Add mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce; mix well. Add remaining ingredients; mix lightly. Shape into 4 patties.
• Refrigerate patties 30 minutes to help keep them together when cooking.
• Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Fry crab cakes about 5 minutes per side or until cooked through and golden brown.
• Test Kitchen Tip: To broil instead of frying, place crab cakes on foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 10 minutes, turning once, or until golden brown on both sides.

MARYLAND JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Set the oven to low broil and place the oven rack near the top.
• In a medium-sized bowl, carefully pick through the crab meat to remove any shells. Try not to break up the lumps. Be as thorough as possible.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and then add in the mayonnaise until combined.
• Add the breadcrumbs and stir to combine. Add the Old Bay, fines herbs and garlic powder. Add the mustard and Worcestershire sauce, stir until well combined.
• Gently stir the wet mixture into the crab meat, one spoonful at a time. This part takes some patience because you really want to avoid breaking up the lump meat as much as possible.
• Carefully form 5-6 crab cakes.
• Lightly grease the bottom of a baking sheet (cooking spray works well for this) and place the crab cakes on the sheet. Place a small piece of butter on top of each crab cake.
• Broil on low for 12-15 minutes, keeping a close eye to make sure they don't burn. Don't flip them, just allow them to cook on one side the entire time (the lack of filler makes them very delicate). If the tops seem like they're going to burn, lower the oven rack. You're not cooking the meat but you want the filling to solidify and the egg to cook through.
• If you want the tops a bit more golden, switch the broiler to the high setting for the last minute or so.
• When the tops are golden brown, remove the pan from the oven and allow the crab cakes to cool slightly before serving.
• I recommend serving them with Saltine crackers and dijon mustard. They also make a great sandwich.

• For the crab cakes: In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Stir in the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon zest, parsley and Old Bay seasoning and mix well to combine. Add the crab meat and panko and mix gently but thoroughly to combine. Form 8 crab cakes by pressing them into shape with 1/3-cup measuring cup. Place on a greased sheet tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• For the spicy remoulade: In a small bowl, whisk to combine the mayonnaise, hot sauce, parsley, capers, garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place an oven rack 8 inches from the broiler element. Heat the broiler over high heat. Brush the tops of the crab cakes with melted butter. Broil until golden on top and heated through, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and spicy remoulade.
