PRÉPARATION
- 1. To make sauce: In medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, yogurt, pickle, capers and smoked paprika until well combined. Sauce will keep for up to three days in airtight container in refrigerator.
- 2. To make crab cakes: In medium bowl, whisk together egg, mayonnaise and lemon juice until combined. Add crab meat, 1/2 cup (125 mL) breadcrumbs, celery, scallions, parsley and pepper and stir gently to combine. Put remaining breadcrumbs in shallow dish.
- 3. Using your hands, shape about 2 Tbsp (30 mL) crab mixture into a patty about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. Coat in breadcrumbs, then place on baking sheet or clean work surface. Repeat to form remaining crab cakes for total of 16.
- 4. In large, nonstick skillet, heat 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil over medium-high heat. Place eight crab cakes into skillet and cook, turning once, until crisp and browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to serving plate or baking sheet, wipe any crumbs out of skillet and repeat with remaining oil and crab cakes.
- 5. Place about 1 tsp (5 mL) sauce on top of each crab cake and serve immediately, or cover cakes and chill for up to one day, then reheat in 350 °F (180 °C) oven for 10-15 minutes.
