Do you ever make crab cakes for a weeknight dinner? If you’re like me, I’m guessing no.
Because, although I love (LOVE) crab cakes, I hate cooking them. Mainly: standing at the stove for 30 minutes with a pan of hot oil that splatters on everything, smells up the house, and adds a bunch of grease to my dinner.
But what if you could bake the crab cakes in less than 20 minutes using one sheet pan and just a few tablespoons of oil? You can!
The trick to this technique is to drizzle some oil on a cookie sheet and then heat it up in the oven. When you place the crab cakes on the hot pan, you get a nice sear on the bottom, similar to what you would get in a skillet on the stove top.
So easy, right? I can’t wait for you to try this one! Let me know if you do — would love to hear how they turn out! Serve with lemon dill sauce or remoulade. These Easy Crab Cakes are delicious alongside a Caesar salad, Baked Feta Pasta, or Simple White Rice.

Wow this was so tasty! We made it as a family this past weekend.
Wonderful! Thanks for the note! Stay tuned for new recipes this fall. Hugs, Marie
Thank you for the recipe. When baking, where do you place the rack top or middle?
Hi! Great question! I generally always leave my rack in the middle, unless I’m broiling something and want it closer to the top flame. So for the crab cakes, the rack is in the middle. Hope that helps and please let me know if you need anything else. ❤️, Marie
I’m a newcomer to your YouTube channel. I loved the easy step-by-step recipe. Thank you for being there making it easy to follow .
Hi Cecilia! Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! These crab cakes are an all-time favorite and I hope you get to try them. Let me know if you have questions — happy to help! ❤️, Marie
Hi I could not find the Remoulade sauce recipe do you have that on print out
Do i need to add cooking time if the cakes are left in freezer longer? Like several hous?
Hi! Thanks for watching and great question! I freeze mine often for several weeks — stacked between wax paper in a Tupperware. When I cook them, I typically take them out of the freezer and leave them on the counter for maybe 15 minutes. Then cook as usual and add about 2 minutes to the cook time. Let me know if you need anything else. Hugs, Marie
