Ingredients:
- 450 g crab claw meat, sorted
- 2 tsp rapeseed oil (canola)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced
- 1 tbsp finely grated ginger root
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves + 18 whole cilantro leaves
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp. panko breadcrumbs, divide
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup nonfat thick Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon hot chili sauce with garlic, such as Sriracha, + more to taste
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 220°C. Spray a baking sheet with canola oil.
- Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions, bell peppers, and jalapeños and cook until the peppers soften slightly, about 3 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and cook for another minute. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the vegetable mixture with the crab meat, lime zest and juice, cilantro, egg, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, and season with salt.
- Place the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs on a plate. Form the crab mixture into 8 cakes, carefully coat each one in the breadcrumbs, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the crab cakes with cooking spray to lightly coat them.
- Bake the patties until golden brown on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Carefully flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt with the remaining 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and the hot sauce.
- Serve the cutlets, adding 0.5 teaspoon of yogurt sauce and a cilantro leaf to each.
