Ingredients

  • 4 Crab Cakes

  • 4 tbsp Butter

  • 2 Lemons, one juiced and one wedged

  • 1 tbsp Minced Garlic

  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

  • Salt, pepper and olive oil

Directions

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 2: Add the crab cakes and cook 5 to 6 minutes per side without moving them until deeply golden.

Step 3: Move the crab cakes to plates and wipe the skillet.

Step 4: Melt the butter with the garlic over low heat until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5: Stir in the lemon juice and parsley and season to taste.

Step 6: Spoon the lemon butter over the crab cakes and serve with lemon wedges.

Chef's Tip: Press the crab cakes gently and leave them undisturbed in the pan so the crust sets before you turn them.

Save by using prepared crab cakes cost far less than ordering them out and Serve with roasted creamer potatoes and a wedge of lemon.
