Description

These light and airy crabcakes highlight the delicate sweetness of lump crab meat without overwhelming it with heavy binders. Using non-fat yogurt and fresh breadcrumbs creates a tender interior that crisps beautifully in the oven. The addition of scallions, parsley, and a hint of Worcestershire sauce provides a savory depth, while lemon juice and dry mustard add a bright, zesty kick. Perfect for a light lunch or an elegant appetizer, these patties are simple to assemble and bake to golden perfection. They offer a satisfying, low-fat alternative to traditional fried versions, making them ideal for summer gatherings or a quick, healthy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped scallions, parsley, non-fat yogurt, lemon juice, fat-free mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, red pepper, and dry mustard.
  3. Carefully pick through the lump crab meat to remove any remaining shell fragments or cartilage.
  4. Add the crab meat and 1/4 cup of the fresh breadcrumbs to the bowl with the wet ingredients.
  5. Gently fold the ingredients together using two forks or your hands, taking care not to break up the large chunks of crab.
  6. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties.
  7. Coat each patty with the remaining breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Place the formed patties on a plate lined with waxed paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.
  9. Coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
  10. Arrange the chilled patties on the baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
