Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb jumbo lump crab meat
1 egg
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp tabasco sauce
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (or fresh bread crumbs if preferred)
1 tbsp old bay seasoning
1 tbsp dry mustard
butter
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp minced onion (or grated )
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
salt and pepper

Directions:

Mix all ingredients except for mayo and bread crumbs in bowl. Make sure crab is coated with seasonings.
Fold mayo and bread crumbs into mixture gently.
Form into crab cakes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Melt butter over medium heat until just beginning to brown. Add crab cakes, taking care not to crowd them in the pan. Make in batches or use more than one skillet if need be.
Saute crab cakes 4-5 minutes a side. Serve immediately or, if cooking in batches, keep in warm oven (150 or 200) until ready to serve.
To make vinaigrette, whisk all ingredients together. Will keep in refrigerator for a week so it's easy to make ahead.
Toss vinaigrette with mixed baby greens and serve crab cakes over top. Drizzle extra vinaigrette over crab cakes.
