Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 8 minutes
Serves: 4 Crab Cakes
This is a simple and classic recipe for Crab Cakes, you can steam fresh crab and harvest your own crab meat, or look for the lump crab meat in the refrigerated seafood section at your local grocery store or Costco. Enjoy them with tartar sauce and a salad.
I use an Instant Omni Plus Oven (check current price here), but this recipe should work well in any Air Fryer Oven.

CRAB CAKES
TARTAR SAUCE
In a large bowl, add 1 Large Egg, 3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise, 2 Teaspoons chopped Fresh Parsley, 1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard, ½ Teaspoon Old Bay seasoning. ½ Teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice, ¼ Teaspoon Fine Sea Salt and whisk very well to combine. Stir in ⅓ Cup Bread Crumbs and add the 8oz of Fresh Lump Crab Meat last, fold the crab in gently with a spatula.
Line the baking tray or basket with parchment paper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions (about ½ Cup each) and form them into patties or dome shaped, don’t compress them too much, just enough so they hold their shape and place onto the baking tray. Place a 1-2 Teaspoon tab of Salted Butter on top of each Crab Cake. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes
Make the easy Tartar Sauce, by combining ⅓ Cup Mayonnaise, 2 Teaspoons Sweet Relish, ¼ Teaspoon Dijon Mustard, ¼ Teaspoon Lemon Juice in a small bowl and set aside.
Pre-heat the air fryer to 400°F. Air fry for 8-9 minutes (no need to flip), they should look lightly golden – avoid over cooking or they’ll turn tough. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce. Enjoy!
