Ingredients
- 8 oz Lump crab meat
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Plain panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Light mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (for pan-frying)
- 0 Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the crab meat, egg whites, panko breadcrumbs, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, Old Bay seasoning, and black pepper.
Step 2
Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties, about 3 inches wide each. Be careful not to overpack the mixture to ensure tender, light crab cakes.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, place the crab cakes in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
Step 5
Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 6
Serve warm with an additional squeeze of lemon on top or your favorite low-calorie dipping sauce.
