In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, almond flour, avocado-oil mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, green onion tops, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined — the mixture should hold together when pressed but still show visible lumps of crab.
