2 Tbs chopped green onion
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 lb flaked crab meat
1/2 cup minced celery
1 Tbs Dijon-style mustard
1 Tbs lemon juice
2 Tbs chopped parsley


Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a roasting pan generously with non-stick spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the crab meat. Mix in the crab meat, shape into 4 balls and flatten.
Place the crab cakes on the prepared roasting pan and bake for 5 minutes, turn cakes over and bake another 5 to 8 minutes or until crisp and browned. Serve with a wedge of lemon.
Comments: To make cajun-style crab cakes, all of the following spices may be added: 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed, 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. The spices will add negligible calories. You may also substitute imitation flaked crab for real crab.
