Baked Crab Cakes

We had about a bunch of king crab left over and my hubby wanted me to make crab cakes with it. i'd never made them before so i did some research. this recipe is a combination of a few different ones - but came out great! he was very happy and it is now going to be a repeat recipe! hope you enjoy it too!

Steps

Sort through crab and discard any bits of shell.

Press out moisture with paper towels.

In a large bowl , combine celery , minced chives , mayonnaise , egg , mustard , and old bay.

Mix well with a fork.

Add crab and 1 / 4 cup panko.

Stir gently just to mix.

Put in fridge for 1 / 2 an hour or more if time permits.

Put remaining panko in a shallow bowl.

Shape crab mixture into about 6 cakes about a 1 / 2 inch thick.

Place each cake in panko to coat on each side - place on baking stone or dish and reform into shape.

Should be sort of flat across - about a 1 / 2 inch thick - and formed around the edges.

Bake in a 475f regular or convection oven until golden brown , 15 to 18 minutes.

With a spatula , transfer crab cakes to a platter.

Add any sauce you want - but they turned out great without any sauce.
