Ingredients

Scale

Lump crabmeat 1 pound
Almond flour 1/4 cup
Egg 1 large
Mayonnaise (avocado oil) 2 tablespoons
Old Bay seasoning 1 teaspoon
Lemon juice 1 tablespoon
Green onions 2 tablespoons (chopped)
Mustard 1 tablespoon
Hot sauce 1 tablespoon

Instructions

Pat crabmeat dry with paper towels in a colander
Mix crabmeat with almond flour, egg, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice in a bowl
Form mixture into 8 equal-sized patties (press gently to avoid compacting)
Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat
Pan-fry patties 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown
Whisk remoulade: combine 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, chopped green onions, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Serve crab cakes with remoulade on the side

Notes

Substitute coconut flour for drier texture
Use 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp water) for vegan
For best crispiness, freeze patties 15 minutes before cooking
Store leftover remoulade in an airtight container up to 3 days
