Crab Cakes With Fresh-Corn Salsa
- Crab cakes:
- 1 pound shredded lump crabmeat, drained and shell pieces removed
- 1 1/2 cups fresh whole-grain breadcrumbs, divided
- 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, divided
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- Corn salsa:
- 3 ears corn
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat balsamic vinaigrette or Italian salad dressing (such as Newman's Own Lighten Up!)
- To make crab cakes, combine crabmeat, 1 cup breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons chives, juice, egg whites, salt, and red and black peppers. Mix well and shape to form 8 (1/2-inch-thick) patties. (Patties may be covered with plastic and refrigerated up to 4 hours before cooking.)
- To make corn salsa, cut corn kernels from cobs; transfer the kernels and any milky juices to a small bowl. Add tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chives, and dressing; mix well.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Dip crab cakes lightly in 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. Add crab cakes to hot skillet; cook 5 minutes per side or until golden. Transfer to plates; top with corn salsa.
