Crab Cake VIDEO

We had some left over Alaskan King Crab legs  from our prior evening feast. So I decide why not make some crabs cakes out of them. Crab is crab, right? They came out great. Topped them with some homemade Corn Salsa and a little hot sauce…mmm mmm good!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound crab meat (any fresh crab meat will do)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, (reduced fat)
• 2 cups panko bread crumbs
• salt & pepper to taste
• olive oil

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Heat olive oil over medium high heat. Saute onion’s till translucent. Add garlic and cook additional 2 minutes. Add dry white wine, de-glaze the pan and let simmer 3-4 minutes. Turn off heat and set pan aside and let cool.

Place cooled onion and garlic mixture in a bowl. Add crab meat, egg and mayonnaise. Salt and pepper to taste. Add bread crumbs and mix well.

Make cakes approximately 1/2 inch thick. Place on a baking dish and refrigerate for 1-hour so the cakes firm up.

Lightly coat pan with olive oil and brown cakes 2-3 minutes per side. Place on baking dish and bake for 15-minutes. Remove from oven and top with some corn salsa.
