No Crust Crab Cakes

3 green onion chopped

1 Tbsp butter

1 1/4 tsp garlic salt divided

1 lb jumbo lump crab meat

1 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs divided

1/4 cup diced roasted red pepper

2 large eggs beaten

3 Tbsp mayonnaise

1 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

1 Tbsp chopped  parsley

2 tsp seafood seasoning divided

1/2 tsp lemon pepper

Olive oil or butter for frying

Combine the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, Seafood seasoning, celery, and parsley in a large bowl and mix well. Add the crab meat (be sure to check the meat for any hard and sharp cartilage) and panko; using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined, being careful not to shred the crab meat. Shape into 6 crab cakes (each about Β½ cup) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps them set.

Preheat a large nonstick pan to medium heat and coat with canola oil. When the oil is hot, place the crab cakes in the pan and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Be careful as oil may splatter.
