Crab Cakes with Herb Salad

These homemade crab cakes offer a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy delicate seafood. By combining sweet crabmeat with zesty lemon, Dijon mustard, and a trio of fresh herbs, you create a dish that is light yet satisfyingly crisp. Served alongside a vibrant dressed salad, this high-protein meal is perfect for a light summer lunch or as an impressive starter for a dinner party with friends.

Preparing the patties in advance allows the flavours to develop and ensures they hold their shape perfectly when pan-fried. Using panko breadcrumbs provides a superior crunch that contrasts beautifully with the tender crab. This recipe is an excellent choice for those looking for a nutritious, flavour-forward dish that celebrates fresh ingredients and simple cooking techniques.
