  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. Add 1/2 cup panko and crab; toss gently. Let stand for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the sauce (see Step ).

  • Step 2: Divide crab mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty. Place the remaining panko in a shallow bowl. Place a patty in the bowl and scoop panko to cover, pressing lightly, and put on a small tray. Repeat with remaining patties.

  • Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoon canola oil to pan. Add 4 crab cakes to pan; cook 4 minutes and then turn gently. Cook for another 4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan; keep warm. Repeat procedure with 2 more tablespoons oil and crab cakes.

  • Step 4: In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Let stand for the flavors to meld while the crab cakes are cooking.

  • Step 5: Serve the crab cakes with a dollop of the spicy sauce.
