Ingredients
- 16 oz Lump crabmeat
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, gently mix together the crabmeat, being cautious not to break up the lumps, almond flour, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, egg, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, green onions, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Once the mixture is well combined, form it into 8 evenly-sized patties by rolling a portion in your hands and gently flattening it.
Step 3
Place the formed patties onto a plate and cover them with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Step 5
Fry the crabcakes in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Transfer the crabcakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
