Ingredients

• 1 pound Lump crabmeat
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Gluten-free mayonnaise
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Green onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crabmeat, gluten-free breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, green onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the crabmeat lumps too much.

Step 2

Once mixed, let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This will help the crabcakes hold together better during cooking.

Step 3

After resting, take the bowl out of the refrigerator and shape the mixture into 8 equally sized patties.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, add the crabcakes.

Step 5

Cook the crabcakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked crabcakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

Serve warm with tartar sauce, a lemon wedge, or your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce.
