**Canned Crab Fish Cake**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cans of crab meat, drained
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 egg, beaten
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
**Instructions:**
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped onion, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Mix everything well until fully combined.
2. Add the beaten egg to the mixture and gently fold it in until all ingredients are incorporated. The egg will help bind the ingredients together when forming the fish cakes.
3. Using your hands, shape the crab mixture into small patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You can adjust the size of the fish cakes according to your preference.
4. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the crab fish cakes in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the fish cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Once the fish cakes are cooked through and beautifully browned on both sides, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
6. Serve the Canned Crab Fish Cakes hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a wedge of lemon on the side for squeezing. These fish cakes are delicious on their own or paired with a zesty remoulade sauce for dipping.
Enjoy these delightful Canned Crab Fish Cakes with your family and friends as a delightful appetizer or a satisfying main dish. The blend of flavors in each bite will make this recipe a go-to favorite in your cookbook. We hope you enjoy making and savoring these tasty fish cakes as much as we do!
