- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp old bay seasoning
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado or canola oil), divided
Chef's tipAvocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.

Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, corn kernels, 1/2 cup gluten free breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, beaten egg, green onion tops, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Fold gently until just combined — avoid breaking up the crab lumps.

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Spread the remaining 1/4 cup gluten free breadcrumbs on a plate and press each patty lightly into the crumbs to coat both sides.
