Ingredients:
1/2 cup diced red pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
6 sticks of fake crab, diced
1 tsp. dijon mustard
1 egg
1/2 cup of bread crumbs or panko crumbs plus 1/4 cup set aside
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon water mixed together)
Directions:
Combine red pepper, celery, fake crab, mustard, egg and panko crumbs (or bread crumbs) salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Shape into patties. Dip both sides of each crab cake into the bowl of 1/4 cup crumbs that were set aside. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with egg wash then bake in oven on 400′ for 10-12 minutes. You can also fry these up by heating up some oil in a frying pan and cooking both sides until crispy. Serve with cilantro lime dipping sauce and fresh cilantro.
Cilantro Lime Dipping Sauce:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of mayo
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (fresh!)
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 tsp. chile powder
Directions:
Combine above ingredients. Serve on top of each crab cake or on the side for dipping.
*Tips & Tricks: If the batter is too loose and you have trouble keeping it together, you can add 1 tablespoon flour to help bind it. If you are baking them and want it to be super moist, you can add a tablespoon of mayo to the mixture.

I love cooking Salmon for dinner because there is zero prep involved and it takes only twenty minutes to cook, leaving me just enough time to wash my hands and whip up a salad!
