Gluten free crab and tilapia cake recipe Here is a fantastic, and easy, recipe for gluten free crab and tilapia cakes. The tilapia in the recipe helps bind the crab cakes in the absence of bread crumbs. Use crab sold in plastic tubs in the seafood department for the best results. Canned crab found near the canned tuna yields less crab after the water is drained out and doesn't hold together as well in the cake. Tools needed Standard size muffin tin, sheet pan, small sauce pan, large mixing bowl, spatula or spoon for mixing Ingredients
  • 2 (8 oz) tubs of crab claw or lump crab meat
  • 3 tilapia filets
  • 1/4 cup chopped red pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion, separated into white and green parts
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Boulevard Pale Ale mustard (or another type if unavailable)
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • coconut, soy or some other type gluten free flour, enough to coat the cups in the muffin tin
  • oil spray
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • salt and pepper
Procedure Spray the sheet pan with oil spray, place the tilapia fillets on the pan and season with salt and pepper. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. Remove and allow to cool until needed. Cook peppers and onion whites in butter in a sauce pan over medium-low heat until soft. Combine cooked peppers and onion, onion greens, garlic, lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay and fresh dill in a large mixing bowls and mix together. Crumble cooked tilapia into the mixture and stir until evenly distributed. Fold in crab without overmixing. Spray six openings in a standard sized muffin tin with oil spray, then coat with flour, shaking out the excess. Press crab mixture tightly into the muffin slots and pile the remaining crab evenly on top of each slot without allowing it to pile over the edges of each opening. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until internal temperature reads 170 degrees. Remove from oven and allow to cool for up to five minutes before removing from tin. To remove, run the edge of a butter knife around the outside edge of each muffin slot to loosen the cakes, then use the knife and fingers to pull out. Notes Allowing the cakes to cool completely before removing aides in keeping them in one piece. Cooking longer will also help them stay together, but runs the risk of drying them out. Vary the amount of mayonnaise, cooking time, flours and cooling times to find the perfect recipe for your oven and equipment. A great non-stick muffin tin is the best tool for ensuring a crab cake that doesn't break. These can also be baked in paper cups as a last resort.
