Time 45m

Yield 12 patties, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons green onions, finely minced (green part only)
2 tablespoons red bell peppers, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon parsley, finely minced
2 tablespoons egg substitute
1/2 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 lb lump crabmeat
3 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dill pickles, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • To make dipping sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill until you serve the crab cakes.
  • To make crab cakes: Put the first seven ingredients into a large bowl and blend together with a whisk. Gently fold in the crab meat and plain bread crumbs. In a non-stick standard-size muffin tin, lightly coat eight muffin cups with cooking spray, then fill the cups with equal amounts of the crab misture. Press down lightly on each crab cake so that the top is flat. (Don't press too hard or they may be hard to get out.) Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour. After an hour, try to take one of the crab cakes out of the tin. It if doesn't stay together firmly, put the muffin tin in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
  • Once the crab cakes are thoroughly chilled, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. fill a shallow dish with the panko bread crumbs. After removing each crab cake from the muffin tin, gently roll it in the panko until the whole crab cake has a light coating.
  • Lightly coat a non-stick baking sheet with cooking spray, then place each crab cake on the sheet. Lightly coat the top of each crab cake with cooking spray. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until the coating is crispy and lightly browned. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

These crab cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more mayonnaise next time.

These crab cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more Old Bay seasoning next time.

These crab cakes were a disappointment. They were dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't turn out well.

I've tried many crab cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cakes are light and fluffy, with just the right amount of crab. I love that they're baked instead of fried, too.
