I made these crab cakes for my family the other day. This is an old photo from when I made them another time because they were eaten so fast I didn't get a finished shot. My fam loves crab cakes.
In a bowl, combine 3 C. of crab meat, 1/4 C. mayo, 2 beaten eggs, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, zest of 1 lemon, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/4 C. diced parsley, 3 T. minced onion and 1 C. panko or cracker crumbs. Form them into patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes. You can cut the top and bottom off of the crab meat can to use as a form.
Fry them in a combination of oil and butter.

| You will see them turning golden around the edges when they are ready to be flipped over. |
Cook for an equal time on the other side. Drain them on paper towels and the place them on a cookie sheet and bake them at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve them with some homemade tartar sauce:
1 C. mayo
2 tsp. diced parsley
3 T. capers
1/3 C. diced dill pickles
juice from 1/2 lemon
1/2 C. minced onion
4 T. diced tart apple
salt to taste
