Instructions
Creating lobster cakes is a straightforward process when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Lobster Meat: Chop the cooked lobster meat into bite-sized pieces.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Mix until well blended.
3. Add Seasonings: Stir in chopped green onions, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper into the wet mixture.
4. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the chopped lobster meat and breadcrumbs into the mixture until everything is evenly covered.
5. Form Cakes: Shape the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You should get approximately 8-10 lobster cakes.
6. Chill (Optional): For a firmer texture, place the formed cakes in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes.
7. Heat the Pan: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil or butter. Allow it to heat up but not smoke.
8. Cook: Carefully place the lobster cakes in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
9. Drain Excess Oil: After cooking, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
10. Serve Fresh: Enjoy hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce!
