2 ounces sourdough bread crumbs
6 ounces Dungeness crab meat
1 whole egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon Maui onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon parsley, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Olive oil, for sauteing
1 cup Japanese cucumber, peeled and julienned
1/4 cup Maui onion, julienned
1 cup machj lettuce (or other seasonal 'soft' lettuce)

Shape into patties approximately 1/2-inch thick. Heat olive oil in a non-stick saute pan. Cook crab cakes over medium heat to a golden brown about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Combine all ingredients except flower confetti and refrigerate.

This dish was a little bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not a fan of tarragon, so I used a different herb in the dressing. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. The crab was overcooked and the dressing was too tart.
