Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Clean the crabmeat, making sure to remove any shell pieces. Set aside in a large bowl. 3. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites to soft peaks and set aside. 4. Finely chop red onion, garlic, tarragon, and dill. 5. Add mayonnaise, chopped onion, garlic, orange juice, Cajun seasoning, tarragon, dill, and sriracha to the crab. Mix until fully combined. 6. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites. 7. Add panko bread crumbs a little at a time until the mixture can form patties that hold together but aren’t dry. 8. Let mixture sit for about 10 minutes. 9. Form into 8 crab cakes. 10. In a skillet over medium heat, add enough olive oil and butter to coat the bottom of the pan. 11. Place crab cakes in the pan and cook without turning until the bottom is lightly browned. 12. Flip and brown the other side. 13. Transfer to an oven-safe dish and bake for about 10–12 minutes. 14. Serve warm. ## Pairing Recommendations: Crab cakes are the perfect addition to a creamy seafood pasta, on top of a salad, or if you want to go all out, in a surf & turf menu for any special occasion. ![Crab Cakes-1](https://evrydyktchn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Crab%20Cakes-1.png?width=235&height=250&name=Crab%20Cakes-1.png) ![Surf and Turf Crab Cakes](https://evrydyktchn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Surf%20and%20Turf%20Crab%20Cakes.png?width=272&height=250&name=Surf%20and%20Turf%20Crab%20Cakes.png) ## Watch the recipe come together: > [          View this post on Instagram                      ](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DW4eRJDR7-X/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) > > [A post shared by Everyday Kitchen 🍴 (@evrydyktchn)](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DW4eRJDR7-X/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) ### Share: [Share on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://evrydyktchn.com/everyday-kitchen-blog/crab-cakes-homemade-crab-cakes-easy-crab-cakes-recipe-homecooking&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook) [Share on LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://evrydyktchn.com/everyday-kitchen-blog/crab-cakes-homemade-crab-cakes-easy-crab-cakes-recipe-homecooking&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin) [Share on X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https://evrydyktchn.com/everyday-kitchen-blog/crab-cakes-homemade-crab-cakes-easy-crab-cakes-recipe-homecooking&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&url=https://evrydyktchn.com/everyday-kitchen-blog/crab-cakes-homemade-crab-cakes-easy-crab-cakes-recipe-homecooking&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&source=tweetbutton&text=crab%20cakes) [Dinner](https://evrydyktchn.com/everyday-kitchen-blog/tag/dinner), [Crab](https://evrydyktchn.com/everyday-kitchen-blog/tag/crab), [Seafood](https://evrydyktchn.com/everyday-kitchen-blog/tag/seafood) ## Lucy Amaya ## Comments ## Related posts Search [challah](https://evrydyktchn.com/everyday-kitchen-blog/challah-homemade-bread-easy-challah-bread-recipe-homecooking) [chicken cutlets](https://evrydyktchn.com/everyday-kitchen-blog/chicken-cutlets-chicken-katsu-easy-cutlet-recipe-homecooking) Search ![Everyday Kitchen White Logo](https://evrydyktchn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Everyday%20Kitchen%20White%20Logo.png?width=234&name=Everyday%20Kitchen%20White%20Logo.png "Everyday Kitchen White Logo") food for everyday [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/evrydyktchn) Made with love by [Stuff & Matters, Inc.](https://www.stuff-n-matters.com) in the United States. ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Lucy Amaya", "url" : "https://evrydyktchn.com/everyday-kitchen-blog/author/lucy-amaya" }, "dateModified" : "2026-04-17T17:00:18.276Z", "datePublished" : "2026-04-17T17:00:18.000Z", "headline" : "Crab Cakes | Homemade Crab Cakes | Easy Crab Cakes Recipe | Homecooking", "image" : [ "https://evrydyktchn.com/hubfs/Crab%20Cakes.png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://evrydyktchn.com/everyday-kitchen-blog/crab-cakes-homemade-crab-cakes-easy-crab-cakes-recipe-homecooking", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://evrydyktchn.com/hubfs/Everyday%20Kitchen%20Blue%20Logo.png" }, "name" : "Everyday Kitchen" } } ```
