Time 40m

Yield 4 servings (8 crab cakes, serving size is 2 crab cakes)

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
Dash hot sauce
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 scallion, including green top, finely chopped
1 pound lump crab, meat picked over
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch black pepper
Smarter Tartar Sauce, recipe follows
6 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 scallion, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped sour pickles
1 tablespoon chopped capers

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl mix together the egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, crab boil seasoning, and hot sauce. Stir in the bell pepper and scallion. Gently fold in the crab, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Put the remaining bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
  • Divide the crab mixture into 8 mounds. Shape each mound into a round and coat in bread crumbs. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and flatten the crab cake to form a patty about 1-inch high. Repeat to form the remaining crab cakes.
  • Bake until golden on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Gently flip the crab cakes and cook until the second side is golden, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
  • Serve crab cakes with tartar sauce alongside.
  • Spoon yogurt into a small bowl lined with paper towels. Place in the refrigerator until some of the liquid from the yogurt is released, about 30 minutes. Scoop thickened yogurt into a small bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
