Ask a question about this stepWe love crab cakes but I was a little nervous making these because of the mayo. (My husband HATES mayo.) I left out the cilantro because he hates that, too, and added more lemon juice and zest. They were fabulous. But the ultimate compliment came from him: He said, "you know, even though I love crab cakes, they always have something like mustard or mayonnaise in them that I hate, but these don't, they're really good." (I'm not telling.) Also, without frying and with the extra lemon, it makes a delicious crab salad.

I have a similar recipe from a local restaurant (no mayo or flour, add grilled onion & celery, and I broil them in the oven instead of frying in oil). One time I grabbed cilantro instead of the parsley that the recipe specified -- the results were awesome! Cilantro to the max :)
