Crabby Crab Cakes

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Crumble crackers in either a food processor, blender, or by hand (place in a bag and crush with a mallet until they’re a breadcrumb consistency).
3. In a large bowl, mix the crabmeat, ground crackers, egg, chives or scallions, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, and seasoning.
4. Using a large cookie scoop or 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop out the mixture and form into 6-7 patties.
5. Warm avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, gently place crab cakes on the skillet and cook until golden, about 4-5 minutes per side. Make sure to be careful as you flip them so they don’t fall apart.
6. Place cooked crab cakes on your lined baking sheet and finish in the oven for 5 minutes.
7. Transfer to a plate and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges. Serve with your favorite tartar sauce! Enjoy!
