    25 mins

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup of crispy panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup of creamy mayonnaise
  • 1 whole egg
  • 2 teaspoons of flavorful Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of tangy Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon of zesty Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of spicy cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground white pepper for a subtle kick (if desired)
  • 4 ounces of succulent fresh lump crabmeat
  • 3 tablespoons of delectable remoulade sauce, adjust to personal preference
  • 3 fluffy brioche slider buns (if desired)

Step 1

Prepare your air fryer by preheating it to 370 degrees F (188 degrees C) as per the manufacturer's guidelines.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, Cajun seasoning, salt, cayenne, and pepper. Gently incorporate the crabmeat into this flavorful mixture.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into 3 crab cakes of equal size using a biscuit cutter. Arrange them on a parchment round before transferring them to the air fryer basket.

Step 4

Cook the crab cakes in the preheated air fryer for 6 minutes. After flipping them, continue cooking until they achieve a delightful golden brown color, which should take about 6 more minutes.

Step 5

To serve, pair the crab cakes with remoulade sauce on slider buns for a delicious meal.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Begin by selecting the freshest crab meat available to ensure the best flavor and texture for your Cajun crab cakes. Store any unused crab meat in an airtight container in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
  2. 2. Once you have prepared your crab cakes, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover them with plastic wrap before storing them in the refrigerator. This will prevent them from drying out and absorbing any unwanted flavors.
