Ingredients used

1 large egg
1 lb (450g) fresh crab meat
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation method

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, Greek yogurt, egg, Dijon mustard, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

Form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to help them hold their shape.

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
