\u2022 1 pound lump of crabmeat <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1\/4 cup of liquid egg substitute or 1 egg lightly beaten <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1\/4 cup of reduced-calorie mayonnaise <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1\/8 teaspoon of dry mustard <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1\/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1\/8 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1\/2 teaspoon of white pepper <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 lemon wedges, for serving <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove any shell or cartilage from the crabmeat, and drain any excess liquid. In a deep bowl, combine the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne, Tabasco, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. Add the crabmeat, parsley, and cracker crumbs, and toss the ingredients gently. Shape the mixture into six crab cakes, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nonstick skillet, heat the oil and butter to medium-high. Fry the crab cakes until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 4 minutes or until done. Remove them from the skillet, and serve them with lemon wedges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1\/4 teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1\/16 teaspoon of cayenne pepper <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 6 tablespoons of butter, divided <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1\/3 cup of sliced almonds <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry the fillets thoroughly by patting them gently with paper towels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Dredge the fillets in the mixture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add 3 tablespoons of butter. Melt the butter and heat. Saut\u00e9 the fillets until golden brown on one side, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and repeat on the other side. Remove the fish to a warm platter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
