Lump Crab Cakes
This is a healthful version of a great American favorite. Try adding some fresh diced avocado to the salsa for a creamier texture. Makes 10 Cakes


Ingredients:

1 pound lump crabmeat
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, preferably eggless
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, optional
1 teaspoon grated horseradish
1 teaspoon arrowroot
2 tablespoons egg whites (from about 1 egg)
1 tablespoon plain soy milk
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced red bell peppers
Lemon wedges and Three-Pepper Salsa, for serving
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
2 tablespoons trimmed and thinly sliced scallions


Instructions:
1. Clean and discard all shell fragments in the crabmeat. Set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the remaining ingredients except for the bread crumbs and serving ingredients, Gently fold in the cleaned crabmeat. Form into 10 balls and roll in a small mixing bowl with the bread crumbs. Form into cakes and place on a sheet pan or tray. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cooking to set.

3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a nonstick skillet with canola oil spray. Heat the pan and cook the cakes until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Finish cooking on a baking tray in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes.

4. Serve with lemon wedges and Three-Pepper Salsa.

Note:
For a cocktail party, make 20 small cakes instead of 10 appetizer-size cakes.
