Ingredients

1 pound lump crab meat
1 slice white bread
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon Old Bay® seasoning, 30% less sodium
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large egg
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

In medium bowl, pick through crab meat and remove any shell pieces.
Cut bread slice into cubes.
Add bread, mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay®, chopped parsley, cayenne pepper and egg to the crab. Mix lightly until all ingredients are mixed together, but do not over mix.
Use a 1/3 cup measure to portion out 6 crab cakes, each 3/4" thick. Refrigerate for one hour.
In a heavy skillet (preferably a cast iron skillet) heat olive oil or cooking spray.
Fry crab cakes until browned on both sides turning only once (about 5 minutes on each side).

Helpful hints

Paprika can be used instead of Old Bay® seasoning. Sodium is reduced to 274 mg per serving.
1/2-cup crushed saltines, unsalted tops, can replace the bread.
For an attractive presentation serve on a bed or chopped lettuce garnished with mandarin orange slices.
