Crab Cakes (clean eating)

I love seafood. I also love quick and easy lunches I can reheat in my air fryer. This recipe nails both. I was nervous they wouldn’t turn out since I’ve never made them before but they were great. Tons of flavor and the perfect size. Pair with a side of veggies and lunch is served.
 
Makes: 7 servings - Serving size: 1 crab cake
Each serving contains: 1 Protein, 0 Carbohydrates, 0 Vegetables, 0 Fat
 

INGREDIENTS
1 lb lump crab meat
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp onion powder
Black pepper, to taste
1 Tbsp olive oil
 
DIRECTIONS
Combine crab, egg, breadcrumbs, yogurt, Old Bay, lemon juice, onion powder and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well. Form into 7 patties. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Cook about 5 minutes per side, or until browned.
 
Optional: garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
 
Note: some people use mayo and crushed saltines instead of Greek yogurt and panko breadcrumbs.
