Mini Crab Cakes With Cherry Tomato and Corn Salsa image

I love crab cakes and these are very good especially with the salsa. I did not serve this in individual portions, but rather all on one platter as an appetizer, with the salsa on the side. The cook time includes the chilling time for the salsa.
