Use vegan mayonnaise and omit the egg if you want to make the crab cakes egg-free. The crab cakes won't hold together quite as well without the egg, but they will still be delicious.

a

Serves 4 (Can easily be cut in half to serve 2)

a

1 pound Dungeness crabmeat

½ cup mayonnaise

½ cup panko (can sub gluten-free white bread crumbs)

½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon minced garlic

2 tablespoons minced green onion

1 beaten egg

3 tablespoons olive oil for frying

1. Combine all of the ingredients except the olive oil in a bowl.

2. Divide into 4 equal balls and flatten into patties on squares of parchment paper. (The parchment paper makes it easier to transfer the crab cakes to a skillet.)

3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 4 minutes on each side and serve.

The crab cakes can be made up to a day ahead of time. Put the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until you’re ready to cook them.
