Light and Simple Crab Cakes


Ingredients:
About 6 oz of lump crab meat
1 tablespoon of finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon of light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of melted butter
2 dashes of paprika
2 dashes of cayenne pepper
2 dashes of Kosher salt
1 dash of parsley
1 dash of bay leaves
2 pieces of bread toasted and minced
1 egg

Directions:
1. Mix all above ingredients together evenly (careful not to break up crab too much)
2. Take mixture and form cakes with hands
3. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until firm (this will make it less likely to break apart)
4. Heat olive oil in non-stick pan and pan fry. Turn only once.
5. Serve with tartar sauce and/or lemons.

Note: I highly recommend this recipe as it is one of my favorites so far!
