Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the mayonnaise, egg, dijon, worcestershire, paprika, and chopped parsley in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Gently fold in the crab and panko, keeping the lumps as intact as possible.

  3. 3

    Shape into 8 cakes and chill on a plate 15 minutes so they hold together.

  4. 4

    Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until foaming.

  5. 5

    Cook the cakes 4 minutes per side until deeply golden and hot in the center.

  6. 6

    Serve right away with lemon wedges.
