My husband will do just about anything to get his hands on some crab cakes. They are always in the appetizer sections of fancy seafood restaurants, so it might seem like they are intimidating to make, but truly they are so simple, literally anyone can make them — even my husband.

Recipe Notes
Tips: Mayonnaise is the perfect binder, and its subtle creaminess won’t compete with the crab — in fact, it helps it shine. If you are not a fan of mayonnaise, Greek yogurt is a great alternative.
The Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce help to wake up the flavor of the crab cakes. If you like a little more zip, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the crabmeat mixture.
To reheat, place cooking tray in the middle position. On the display panel, select Reheat, set Temperature to 350°F (180°C) and Time for 5 minutes.
