Baked Crab Cakes

•Soy-free •Dairy-free •Nut-free

a coating of finely crushed corn flakes crisps beautifully in the oven,

so these baked crab cakes are just as good as any fried version. Instead of tartar sauce,

I serve these with the avocado Mousse on page 23.

1 teaspoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup (80 g) diced onion

½ cup (60 g) diced celery

½ cup (75 g) diced red bell pepper

¼ cup (25 g) finely chopped scallion

(green parts only)

1 tablespoon (11 g) Dijon mustard

¼ cup (56 g) mayonnaise

4 teaspoons old Bay seasoning

¼ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons lemon zest

2 eggs

3 cups (102 g) corn flakes, finely

crushed, divided

1 pound (454 g) crabmeat, picked

over for shell fragments

Preheat the oven to 375 ̊F (190 ̊C, or gas mark 5). Grease a baking sheet

and set aside.

Heat a medium-size sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive

oil, garlic, onion, celery, and red bell pepper and cook for 5 to 7 minutes,

until softened. Place the softened vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

Add the chopped scallion, Dijon, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning,

salt, lemon zest, eggs, and 1 cup (34 g) of the crushed corn flakes to the

bowl. Stir to combine. Add the crabmeat and stir gently to combine the

ingredients but not break up any of the lumps of crab.

Form the mixture into 6 patties. Place the remaining 2 cups (68 g) corn

flakes on a plate. Gently coat each crab cake in the corn flakes and place

onto the greased baking sheet. Spray the crab cakes lightly with nonstick

spray and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden on the outside and

heated through.

Yield: 6 servings

Chef’s Tips

• Jumbo lump crabmeat is ideal to use because the pieces of crab are large
  and succulent. Lump crabmeat or claw crabmeat are really good, too, and
  make a more affordable alternative if jumbo lump isn’t in your budget.


• Make sure the corn flakes you use are gluten-free. Sometimes they have
  added gluten-containing ingredients.
