Keto Crab Cakes is a delicious and impressive dinner minus all the carbs! This melt in your mouth, crispy, keto friendly crab cakes garnished with an easy, smoky remoulade sauce is the best of the best!
HOW TO MAKE KETO CRAB CAKES
Usually crab cakes are made with crackers or breadcrumbs. To make these keto, I used almond flour and you would never know!
First thing you will need to do is combine all the ingredients for your crab cakes into a large bowl and mix well.
The ingredients are beaten eggs, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, creole seasoning, celery, salt, fresh parsley, almond flour and lump crab meat.
Okay, now that's done.. form into eight crab cake patties and set aside on a plate.
Next you will need to heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
You will need to cook the keto crab cakes for about six minutes on each side or until internal thermometer reads 165F.
Side note: You may need to cook them in two batches to avoid crowding in the pan.
While the crab cakes are cooking, mix all your ingredients for the remoulade in a small bowl.
The ingredients for the smoky remoulade are mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, dijon mustard, minced white onion, lemon juice, smoked paprika, dried dill weed, and salt and pepper.
This remoulade is so good, you will want to eat it on everything!
Remove the crab cakes from the skillet to a serving platter.
Garnish with remoulade sauce and enjoy this melt in your mouth flavor!

Notes
- Nutrition: For 2 crab cakes and ¼th of the remoulade
- Creole Seasoning: Found at most grocery stores. Use your favorite!

These are the best crabcakes we have ever made! Very moist and flaky, and the flavor is delicious. The remoulade is delicious and very easy to whip up.

I was amazed how this turned out. Never made crab cakes before so I was a bit skeptical. The recipe and instructions was good except I cooked mine in the Ninja Indoor grill using the air fryer option. I had cooked it at 375 8 mins on each side, but I think next time I’ll cook it a shorter period of time and make the Pattie’s a little smaller as mine were medium sized Pattie’s. The sauce turned out awesome and I chopped up baby dill pickles in place of relish.

Jennifer Langley says
These were delicious! However the remoulade was to mayonaisy and lemony for me so I added a heaping spoon of sour cream and all the other spices and extra dijon and my family thought it was perfect! Thank you!
