# Instructions:

01 - Warm oven to 375°F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment and lightly oil it.
02 - Stir together crab chunks, egg, mayo, panko, mustard, spices, parsley, and lemon juice. Be gentle so the crab stays whole.
03 - Roll the mixture into patties (makes about 8-10) and arrange them on the baking sheet.
04 - Bake until golden, about 15-20 minutes. For a crispier finish, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.

# Notes:

01 - Pan-frying is another cooking option.
02 - Toss in some cayenne for a spicy kick.
03 - Pairs well with slaw or a fresh salad.
