1 pound (450g) special or lump crabmeat, picked over for shells

1/2 cup (120ml) mayonnaise

2 tablespoons (30ml) Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons (10ml) fresh juice from 1 lemon, plus grated zest of half a lemon

2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning

1 small shallot, finely minced (about 2 tablespoons)

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs (1 ounce; 30g)

2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted

Baguette toasts , saltines, or other crackers, for serving (optional)

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, stir together crabmeat, mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon juice and zest, parsley, Old Bay, and shallot until evenly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, stir bread crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Season with salt.

Pack crab mixture in a 1-quart baking or gratin dish, then layer buttered bread crumbs evenly on top. Set on top of a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crab mixture is heated through and bread crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes. Serve with toasts or crackers, if desired.
