The cilantro salsa was a bit too spicy for me. I think I would use a different salsa next time.

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

The cilantro salsa is the perfect complement to the crab cakes. It's light and refreshing, and it really brings out the flavor of the crab.

I've made crab cakes before, but this recipe is by far the best. The crab cakes were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the inside was moist and flavorful.
