- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Gather all the ingredients and cooking tools required for this recipe.
- Beat the eggs.
- Chop parsley.
- Finely chop green onions or chives.
- Slice red bell pepper into thin batons.
- Cut lemon wedges.
Cooking Instructions
- Ensure the crab meat is thoroughly drained and patted dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. If the meat is wet, it will fall apart.
- Mix the crab meat, almond flour, mayonnaise, beaten eggs, parsley, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Mix gently to prevent breaking up the crab meat too much.
- Cover and refrigerate the crab mixture for about 30 minutes. This helps the ingredients bind together and makes the cakes easier to form.
- Flatten the crab meat into a uniform layer on a baking sheet. Cut out the crab cakes and set aside using a ring mold approximately 2" in diameter. Reflatten any leftover crab mixture and continue cutting out crab cakes until all the crab meat is used.
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Enjoy the crab cakes warm. For a nice crunch, serve with remoulade sauce, chopped chives, and sliced red pepper.
