My roommate made these yummy crabcakes for dinner - from a modified Cooking Light recipe. We try to keep pretty healthy - so this recipe doesn't have mayo and we replaced 2% milk with lite soy milk.

Ingredients:

1 lb lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed

1 1/3 c fresh breadcrumbs (for mixture)

1/3 c minced green onions

1/3 c chopped fresh parsley

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp 2% milk (we used lite soy milk instead)

1 tsp hot sauce

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

4 egg whites

1 1/3 c fresh breadcrumbs (for dredging/coating)

2 tbsp olive oil, divided

Directions:

1. Combine first 10 ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
2. Divide crabmeat mixture into 8 equal portions.
3. Place 1 1/3 c breadcrumbs into a shallow dish.
4. Dredge crabmeat portions in breadcrumbs and shape into patties.
5. Heat 1 tbsp oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Add 4 patties and cook each side until golden (~3 min each side).
7. Repeat with remaining 1 tbsp oil and 4 patties.
