Ingredients:

  • 1 lb imitation crab meat, finely shredded or minced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Place the imitation crab in a bowl and shred it finely using your hands or a food processor (pulse briefly to avoid a paste).
  2. Add the diced red onion, minced parsley, lemon juice, beaten egg, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Old Bay, Dijon, and garlic powder.
  3. Stir gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Fold in half of the Panko breadcrumbs to act as an internal binder.
  4. Scoop approximately 3 tbsp of the mixture and mold into 8 uniform patties (about 1 inch thick).
  5. Place the patties on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the binders.
  6. Press the top and bottom of each chilled patty into the remaining Panko breadcrumbs.
  7. Arrange patties in a single layer in an air fryer basket or on a baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil.
  8. Cook until golden brown and crispy.
