In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, almond flour, beaten egg, avocado oil mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, green onion tops, smoked paprika, celery seed, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Fold gently until just combined — the mixture should hold together when pressed but still show visible chunks of crab.
