Steps:
- Make chipotle mayo crab cakes sauce by combining the ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve. (This can be made several days in advance).
- In a mixing bowl add the crab meat, bell peppers, one beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, mayo, garlic, cilantro and salt and pepper. Gently stir just until blended.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to 5 hours.
- Beat the remaining egg and add to a shallow dish. Add the panko bread crumbs to another dish.
- Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mixture into your palm and flatten into a small disc, about 3 inches in diameter.
- Sprinkle the outsides of the crab cake patties with a tiny bit of cornstarch.
- Dip each patty lightly in the beaten egg, and then coat them lightly with panko bread crumbs. I try to avoid doing a thick coating of crumbs because I like the crab flavor to shine through as much as possible.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown on bottom.
- Gently flip to the other side and cook for another 3 minutes, or until golden. Remove to a plate. Serve warm with chipotle mayo sauce for dipping.

AIR FRYER CRAB CAKES WITH CHIPOTLE SAUCE
These deliciously crisp cakes are loaded with sweet crab. Not overmixing and allowing the mixture to rest before cooking helped the crab cakes hold their shape better, as did cooking them in an air fryer. Serve these hearty morsels with creamy chipotle sauce and you'll have a decadent dinner in no time.

Steps:
- For the crab cakes: Whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, bell pepper, chives, parsley, lemon zest and juice, mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. With a rubber spatula or large spoon, very gently fold the crab and panko into the mixture. Try to avoid breaking up lumps of crab as much as possible. Cover the crab mixture with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day. This will allow the panko to absorb more liquid and help bind the crab cakes together better.
- For the chipotle sauce: While the crab mixture is resting, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotles and adobo sauce, chives, parsley and lemon zest and juice in a small bowl until combined. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside. (The sauce can be refrigerated, covered with plastic wrap, up to 1 day.)
- Just before cooking, divide the crab-cake mixture into 4 portions. Lightly compact each portion to form a patty (about 3 1/2 inches in diameter) with your hands to ensure they hold their shape while cooking and place onto a large plate.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F and spray the basket with cooking spray. Place the crab cakes into the basket and spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook until deep golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through and spraying again with cooking spray, about 16 minutes. Serve warm with chipotle sauce and lemon wedges.

CRAB CAKES WITH CHIPOTLE PEPPERS
These fresh, crisp & tender crab cake has a nice spicy smokey taste that has a Southern kick to them. Fresh Lump crabmeat, mixed with celery, scallions, peppers and chipotle peppers in adobe sauce fried up and served on a bed of cilantro, lime slices and a nice dollop of my Smokey tartar sauce ( Recipe #120370 ). These are slightly smokey, tender on the inside and crisp on the outside. You can make these into little patties and serve as an appetizer. You MUST use LUMP crab meat and be careful not to break it up. There's nothing like sweet crab meat!
