Recipe adapted from Cooking Light: Classic Crabcakes

Ingredients
  • 1 1/3 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), divided
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 8 ounces (1/2 pound) lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 
  • 1 lemon, quartered
Directions
  1. Combine 1/3 cup panko and next 10 ingredients (through egg) in a large bowl, stirring well. Add crab; stir gently just until combined. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
  2. Place remaining 1 cup panko in a shallow dish. Add the extra virgin olive oil to the crumbs and stir well so that all the crumbs are coated. Using wet hands, shape crab mixture into 6 equal balls. Gently flatten balls to form 6 (3-inch) patties and coat in the panko on both sides.   
  3. Place the crab cakes onto an oiled baking sheet and bake in a pre-heated 475 degree oven for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges.
