Ingredients

• 1 pound crabmeat

• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, (see Note)
• 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons minced chives
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 4 dashes hot sauce, such as
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter

Preparation

1. Mix crab, egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard, lemon juice, celery seed, onion powder, pepper and hot sauce in a large bowl. Form into 6 patties.
2. Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the butter stops foaming. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.

Tips & Notes

• Note: Panko breadcrumbs, also known as Japanese breadcrumbs or bread flakes, are coarser in texture than other dried breadcrumbs. They produce a crispy crust and are less likely to become soggy than finely ground breadcrumbs. Look for panko in the Asian food section of large supermarkets and in specialty Asian markets.
