Time 40m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons wasabi powder (or paste)
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 lb backfin lump crabmeat
1 1/4 cups fine fresh breadcrumbs (from 3 slices white bread)
1 large egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Mix together the 4 ingredients for the Wasabi Mayonnaise and set aside.
  • Combine crabmeat and breadcrumbs in a medium bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk egg, chives, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon zest until blended; add to crab mixture and stir.
  • Scoop mounds of crab mixture (about 1 1/2 tbsp) into small round cakes, about 1 1/2 inches wide.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook cakes 1 minute per side, or until lightly browned (working in batches).

  • Top each crab cake with a small dollop of Wasabi Mayonnaise.
