These delicious and healthy crab cakes are baked in the oven and turn out crispy on the outside, as if they were fried in a generous amount of oil. This is all thanks to the coarse panko breadcrumbs in which the cakes are coated, which require very little fat to achieve a delicious crispiness during baking. In addition to natural crab meat, the cakes themselves are topped with a vegetable sauté of green onions, sweet and hot peppers, spices, and a refreshing lemon zest. The cakes are very juicy and low in calories. Serve with a light, spicy yogurt sauce.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 220°C. Spray a baking sheet with canola oil.
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions, bell peppers, and jalapeños and cook until the peppers soften slightly, about 3 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and cook for another minute. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine the vegetable mixture with the crab meat, lime zest and juice, cilantro, egg, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, and season with salt.
Place the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs on a plate. Form the crab mixture into 8 cakes, carefully coat each one in the breadcrumbs, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the crab cakes with cooking spray to lightly coat them.
Bake the patties until golden brown on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Carefully flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt with the remaining 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and the hot sauce.
Serve the cutlets, adding 0.5 teaspoon of yogurt sauce and a cilantro leaf to each.
