  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter for cooking
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking

Method

  6. Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until the butter foams.
  7. Cook the crab cakes for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
  8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or remoulade.
