Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, gently mix the crab meat with the whole wheat breadcrumbs until just combined.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and freshly chopped parsley until smooth.
Step 3
Add the mixture from step 2 to the crab meat mixture and gently fold together until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the lumps of crab meat.

Thinly slice the green onions and fold them into the crab mixture.
Step 5
With your hands, shape the mixture into 8 crabcakes, about 3 inches in diameter each.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Place the crabcakes in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd, and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.
Step 8
Transfer the crabcakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your choice of low-sodium sauce or a side salad.
