1 Tbsp butter or olive oil
2 Tbsp red onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
2 Tbsp red or orange bell pepper, minced
2 tsp old bay seasoning
3 Tbsp 1/2 and 1/2 or milk
1 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
1 egg
1/2 tsp parsley, minced fine
1/2 c bread crumbs or finely crushed saltines
1 lb crab meat or any mild white fish if crab is unavailable
TOPPING
1/2 c bread crumbs or finely crushed saltines
1/4 c parmesan cheese, grated
2 Tbsp olive or grapeseed oil
2 Tbsp butter, melted

Steps:

1. Saute veggies in butter or oil until no longer crisp - about 3 minutes. Add the seasoning, milk and mustard.
2. Mix together and add egg, parsley and bread or cracker crumbs. Gently fold in the crab or fish. (If using fish, make sure it is shredded or broken up to give it same consistency as the crab meat.)
3. Form into 8 patties, and pat gently so they're about 1/2 inch thick. (If these are to be appetizers, make the patties smaller)
4. Stir together the cheese and bread crumbs, then pat onto both sides of cakes. Chill in fridge until firm, about 2 hours.
5. Place chilled patties on cookie sheet, sprinkle with oil/butter mixture. Bake at 400ºC for 7-10 minutes.
6. Serve with a dollop of remoulade sauce or mango salsa.
