Caribbean Style Crab Cakes with Apricot Salsa
- 8 ounces, weight Lump Crabmeat ("special Mix" In Some Stores)
- 1 whole Egg, Beaten
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Honey
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Jerk Seasoning
- 1/4 cups Red Bell Pepper, Minced
- 1/4 cups Green Onion, Minced
- 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
- 3/4 cups Plain Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoons Parsley, Fresh Or Dried
- 4 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 3 Tablespoons Apricot Jam Or Preserves
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
- Mix the crabmeat, egg, honey, jerk seasoning, bell pepper, onion, mayonnaise, bread crumbs and parsley in a large bowl until ingredients are blended.
- Form patties depending on usage.
- I make smaller patties for appetizers and larger ones for meals, usually no more than 3/4 inch thick.
- Melt half of the butter in a skillet and place patties in a single layer.
- Cook for about 3-5 minutes on medium heat or until browned on the bottom.
- Add remaining butter to the skillet and flip patties to the other side.
- Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the crabcakes are browned and cooked through.
- Sprinkle the tops with cayenne pepper (you can leave this out if you do not like a lot of spice).
- For the sauce: Mix apricot jam or preserves with lime juice.
- Add more juice or jam if needed, depending on the consistency preferred.
