Creole Crab Cakes with Cranberries
Serves 4
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Cooking Spray (preferably olive oil)
12 oz fresh jumbo lump crab meat
1/2 cup + 2 tbs instant oates, divided
1/3 cup fresh, frozen or dried cranberries
2 tbs fat free mayonnaise
1 teas dijon mustard
1 1/2 teas Creole or Cajun seasoning divided
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine crabmeat, 2 tbs of the oats, cranberries, mayo, mustard and 1 teaspoon of Creole seasoning. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to break up the crabmeat. In a shallow dish, stir remaining oats and seasoning together with a fork.
Shape crab mixture into 4 equal size patties, about 1 inch thick. Transfer crab cakes to oat/seasoning mixture and turn to coat both sides. Place crab cakes on prepared baking sheet and spray the tops and sides with cooking spray. Bake 15 minutes, until crab cakes are golden brown and firm to touch. Serve immediately.
