Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Add the Crab Meat and Binders

Gently fold in the lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, parsley, red bell pepper, and celery. Be careful not to break the crab meat too much; you want the mixture to stay chunky.

Step 4: Shape the Crab Cakes

Using an ice cream scoop or your hands, form the mixture into evenly sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Brush with Oil and Bake

Lightly brush the tops of the crab cakes with olive oil or melted butter to help them brown. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on top.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, remoulade, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
