Grilled Crab Cakes

(makes 3 servings)

WHAT YOU NEED

• coconut oil (for cooking)
• 2 cans of crab, strained (I choose Wild Planet which I purchase from Costco)  
• 1 small carrot, grated
• 1/4 small red onion, diced
• 1/4 green bell pepper, diced
• 1-2 tbs mustard
• 2 eggs yolks (save the whites for a breakfast omelette!) 
• 2 tsp coconut aminos (optional, I feel like it ties the flavors together very well) 
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• sliced green onions for garnish

WHAT TO DO

1. Heat oil in a grill pan over medium heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine crab, carrot, onion, bell pepper, mustard, egg yolks, coconut aminos, and black pepper and mix until well combined. For maximum flavor, place this patty mixture in the fridge overnight! 
3. Using your hands, form 6 tight balls of equal size and press them out just until slightly flat but still thick. 
4. Add patties to hot pan and cook about 4 minutes on each side.
5. Enjoy them hot over leafy greens with avocado and fresh tomatoes (when in season)!
