This easy recipe will have you serving crab cakes once a week. Ready in only 30 minutes, it makes a great weeknight meal or special weekend dinner. Canned crab makes the ingredients for this dish something you can have on-hand. Baking the cakes brings out crab’s delicate taste without loading it down with lots of oil and fat. The breadcrumbs in the cakes absorb the delicious flavors and also add a touch of crunch once baked. Serve your crab cakes over mixed greens for a wonderful lunch option or complete your dinner plate with seared green beans and some wilted spinach. Turn this dish into a fabulous party appetizer by forming 1-bite-sized cake with a dollop of the sauce.
