Directions
In a medium bowl, combine all crab cake ingredients until well incorporated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, form the mixture into 6 patties. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is ready, lightly season each side of the patties with more Coastal Breeze seasoning and place them in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook on each side until dark golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. When finished, rest and add a light squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top.
In a small bowl, mix together all of the cucumber dill sauce ingredients until well incorporated.
Arrange crab cakes on a platter and top with sauce. Garnish with lemon slices with herbs.
