Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 stalks green onion, chopped
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, gently mix the lump crab meat, almond flour, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped parsley, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Be careful to not break up the crab meat too much.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape into patties. They should be about 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the crab cakes into the skillet without overcrowding.
Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes onto a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and optional keto-friendly condiments like a sugar-free tartar sauce.
