INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lump Crab Meat
1 large Egg White
1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 tsp Lemon Zest
2 cups Mixed Greens
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Cucumber
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat, egg white, panko breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Form the mixture into 2 even-sized patties.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and pan-sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
While the crab cakes cook, prepare the salad by combining mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices in a bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make a light dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
Plate the crispy crab cakes alongside the fresh green salad and serve immediately.
