Ingredients
 

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning such as Old Bay
  • 1 pound fresh or canned lump crabmeat preferable Maryland blue crab, picked clean of shells
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • To make the crab cakes: In a large-size bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, coconut flour, Dijon, egg and seafood seasoning.
  • Carefully fold in the crabmeat, being as careful as possible not to separate the lumps of meat. Gently form about 1/2 cup (112 g) of the crab mixture into a cake about 3 inches wide x 1 inch thick (7.5 x 2.5 cm) with your palms. Once formed, set aside on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Repeat to form 3 more crab cakes.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the crab cakes and fry for about 4 minutes on each side, until nice and golden. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Serve with tartar sauce and plenty of fresh lemon wedges.
