Notes

This flexible dish is similar to crab cakes (but you don't need to secure a second mortgage to make them!) and one that can be customized to your individual tastes.
I like mine with a bit of lemon juice, but a tangy tartar sauce is delicious too!
These cook quickly so keep a close eye on them. They should be a light golden brown on each side. If making a double recipe, cook in batches.
If cooking them in the oven, spray the cupcake tin with cooking spray or line the tin with cupcake liners. Cook in a 375-degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes when you remove them from the oven.
