Golden Crab Cakes

  1. Whisk together mayo, breadcrumbs, mustard, egg, Worcestershire, old bay, dill, lemon juice and seasonings until combined. Then fold in the crab meat by using your hands to mix, or with a rubber spatula. Do not over mix (you should be able to put mixture into a ball without it falling apart).
  2. Form the mixture into 8 crab cakes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan, and add in crab cakes. Cook until browned on both sides (approximately 4 minutes on each side). 
  4. Serve the crab cakes with a dollop of lemon aioli and fresh chives for garnish, if desired.
