HOLLAND AMERICA LINE CRAB CAKES RECIPE FROM CHEF RUDI SODAMIN (Serves 4)
Ingredients:
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/4 cup finely diced celery, from one stalk
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon cilantro
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped hot chili pepper (optional)
• 1-pound lump crab meat* (see note below)
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs (panko bread crumbs add an airy crispiness, but regular bread crumbs will also work)
• Canola oil, for cooking

Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, and Old Bay seasoning. Season with a dash of salt and pepper. Add finely chopped celery, parsley, cilantro, bell pepper, and chili pepper.
2. In a separate medium bowl, stir together crab meat, panko crumbs, and parsley. Fold in mayo mixture, then form into 4-6 patties.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, coat sauté pan with oil and heat until shimmering. Add crab cakes and cook in batches, until golden and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
4. Serve with arugula leaves, sauce, or lemon wedges.

* What is the best crab meat to use in this recipe? Jumbo crab meat if available. This meat comes from two large muscles in the crab and is known for its bright white color and superior taste. It’s also made up of bigger chunks, instead of shredded smaller bits. If you can’t find jumbo use lump crab meat. It’s usually a blend of broken jumbo pieces. Whichever crab meat you choose, don’t forget to sort through the crab meat to ensure there aren’t any pieces of shell. You can also use less expensive canned crab meat – canned jumbo or lump crab meat.

Tip: Shaped patties hold up well in fridge for 1 to 2 days when covered well, then cook right before serving.
