Ingredients
3 pounds fresh lump crabmeat (or an equal amount of canned lump crabmeat)
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
3 tablespoons oats (regular or quick-cooking)
3 tablespoons seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine crabmeat, sour cream, oats, bread crumbs, Dijon mustard, crab boil, oregano, and black pepper. Gently mix ingredients together, being careful not to break up crabmeat.
- Take 1/3 of the mixture and shape into 4 crabcakes, each about 1-inch thick. Freeze (up to 3 months) or refrigerate remainder of filling (up to 24 hours) for another use. Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet. Add crab cakes and saute 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer pan to oven and bake 20 minutes, until crab cakes are cooked through.
- Serve 4 cakes for this meal and reserve remaining crab cakes for later in the week.
