Making Mayo’s Recipes: Crabcakes with very little filler
Share this:
Too many crabcakes are like breaded hockey pucks. These crabcakes are mixed with a light filling of egg whites, lemon juice, fresh dill and Old Bay seasoning. (Be sure not to over mix.) Then, they’re baked instead of fried.
Each Thursday, one of the more than 100 video recipes from the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program is featured on the Mayo Clinic News Network — just in time for you to try over the weekend. You also can have the recipes delivered via the Mayo Clinic App.
These recipes are created by the executive wellness chef and registered dietitians at the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program. Find more recipes and other healthy living insights on the Mayo Clinic App.

CRABCAKES WITH LITTLE FILLER
Serves 4
1 can or pouch (16 ounces) crab meat
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh dill
½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
½ cup panko or whole-wheat bread crumbs
Heat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, egg whites, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, dill and seasoning; mix well. Weigh out 4 ounces for each crabcake. In a separate bowl, toss each cake in Panko crumbs to form crust. Continue the process until all crabcakes are coated with Panko crumbs. Once coated, place crabcakes on baking sheet. Bake in oven for 20 minutes or until cakes are browned on top.
