try putting a couple of ice cubes on your baking tray just before you put them in the oven. the ice cubes will melt slowly and the water will turn to steam very quickly and keep the inside of the crab cake moist. the water from the ice cubes will have dissipated in about 10 minutes and then put your crab cakes under the broiler for 2 minutes for a brown top.

I sent this recipe to my 76 year old. He loves crab cakes but this was his first time ever making them. He said the recipe was easy to follow and these were the best crab cakes he’s ever had! Thank you for sharing this!

Great recipe. Made this tonight for my family and everyone loved it — even my mother went back for seconds and she doesn’t normally like crab cakes.

In reply to Joann. Hi Joann! You are supposed to mix everything together and then in the next step add your crab meat and bread crumbs. :)

How many does it make?????

Super easy recipe to make, with excellent results! I must recommend chilling the cakes for at least 30 minutes prior to baking as per the recipe, I was too impatient and only chilled mine for ten minutes lol. It still came out great but they did fall apart easier. Apart from that, this was restaurant quality. Can’t wait to make this again! Thank you for the recipe.

In reply to Maria. I accidentally whipped all ingredients together before my crab meat. What should I do to correct this.

Hi Stephanie perfect moist salmon cake recipe. Family recipe tweaked to avoid the dryness.

4 cans of boneless skinless salmon
1 1/2-2 eggs
3/4 cups of panko or saltines
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of parsley
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
(I also like to use a little paprika)

Heat oil prior to frying cooked both sides until golden brown (approximately 6-9 min)

Favorite recipe! I moved from Baltimore to Phoenix and went through a seafood depression. Thank you so much it taste like home and I even sold quite a few batches!

I followed the recipe ingredients, but added a little sauteed onion, bell pepper, jalapeño pepper and garlic. Unbeknownst to me, I brought them to a gathering and there were a couple people from Maryland who said they were amazing. Thank you for the recipe…sorry I deviated, but I saw another recipe with the sofrito I used, but wanted to use your recipe. I usually pan fry, but from now on baking them.

This is hands down the best crab cake recipe I’ve ever made. I was thought they had to be bathed and butter to taste delicious, but baking news in the oven, with just a dab is really so easy and so rewarding!

Hello again! I forgot to ask one more question,. Can I use this crab cake mixture to stuff portobello mushrooms? Thanks

By: Maria

Maria — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 12:50:59 +0000

Hello, If I don’t have panko or saltines, can I substitute ritz crackers, club crackers or soda crackers?

In reply to Sam Merritt. For salmon cakes follow the same recipe, just use canned salmon instead of crab. We usually put a bit of rosemary in salmon cakes.

Sam, this is a super star recipe!! I made it for dinner tonight (exactly as written), it couldn’t be easier and my whole family loved the crab cakes, even saying they are better than most restaurants. Thanks a ton for sharing!
