Skinny Crab Cakes

I'm from Maryland and I'm always trying to find a good crab cake recipe that is delicious! This is not only delicious, but it is healthy! Skinny Crab Cakes that are baked, not fried! My kids even ate them.. with some convincing.

Skinny Crab Cakes

- 8-12 oz. crab meat
- 3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 3 x green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp. plain Greek yogurt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1-3 tsp. crushed red pepper (optional)

Sauce

- 3 tbsp. plain Greek yogurt
- generous squeeze of Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 1 tbsp. white wine vinegar

1. Grease a baking sheet and set aside. Mix your bread crumbs, yogurt, onions, eggs, salt and pepper, lime juice and red pepper in a bowl.
2. Break up your crab meat and mix in gently.
3. Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, form your cakes and place on your greased baking sheet.
4. Heat oven to 400 degrees, bake for 10 minutes, flip and bake for another 10 minutes.
5. Sauce: mix all ingredients and leave chilled in the refrigerator.
6. Serve crab cakes with sauce on a bed of lettuce or vegetables.
