🍋 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

🌶️ 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (adjust to taste)

Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.

Serve the crab cakes hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

That year, for the first time in my 23 years, we weren't going to make it home for Easter. Thankfully, my sister and her husband hopped on a plane to visit. We celebrated Easter together—one week early. We called it "Mock Easter."
