Crab Cakes
Flecked with scallions and bell pepper, these healthy crab cakes are as flavorful as their higher-fat counterparts. We brown them first on the stovetop and then finish them in a hot oven--no need for frying.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Stir crabmeat, fresh breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg white, lemon juice, scallion, bell pepper, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, pepper and hot sauce to taste in a large bowl.

  • Place dry breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Form the crab mixture into six 1/2-inch-thick patties. (The mixture will be very soft.) Dredge the patties in the dry breadcrumbs, reshaping as necessary.

  • Brush oil evenly over the bottom of a heavy ovenproof skillet. Heat the pan over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes and cook until the undersides are golden, about 1 minute. Carefully turn the crab cakes over and transfer the pan to the oven. (If you do not have an ovenproof skillet, transfer the patties to a baking sheet.) Bake until heated through, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips

Tip: To make fresh breadcrumbs, trim crusts from whole-wheat bread. Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. One slice of bread makes about 1/2 cup fresh crumbs.
