Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Lump crab meat
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 10 grams Dijon mustard
- 10 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 20 grams Green onion, chopped
- 15 milliliters Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 milliliters Avocado oil (or preferred cooking oil)
Instructions
In a large bowl, gently mix together the lump crab meat, almond flour, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh parsley, green onion, lemon juice, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small patty, about 2.5 cm thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook each crab cake for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Transfer the cooked crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top.
