Mouth-watering Maryland-style crab cakes with remoulade my friends like better than any they've tasted... and I have some well-travelled friends! It's a recipe I perfected over several years, researching and sampling other recipes and finding them lacking.

Ingredients

1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for pieces of shell
½ cup mayonnaise (such as Hellmann's®)
3 stalks green onion, minced
1 large egg
1 medium lemon, juiced
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 ½ tablespoons panko bread crumbs
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
⅔ cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
3 tablespoons horseradish sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
¼ cup grapeseed oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

Mix crabmeat, mayonnaise, green onion, egg, lemon juice, 1/2 of the jalapeno, panko, seafood seasoning, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire, ginger, and mustard together for crab cakes in a large bowl. Mix creamy salad dressing, horseradish, and ketchup for remoulade with remaining jalapeno in another bowl. Cover and refrigerate both for 1 hour.
Remove crab mixture from the refrigerator and portion into 2- to 3-ounce cakes. Roll in panko, coating generously.
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Place crab cakes in the hot oil and fry until they are a crispy golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
Serve immediately with remoulade.
