Ingredients

Olive oil cooking spray
1 pound lump crabmeat
4 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh herbs such as dill, chives, or tarragon
1/2 cup olive oil–based mayonnaise
1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
1/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning such as reduced-sodium Old Bay
1/2 pound romaine lettuce
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Position a rack in the center of the oven. Coat a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.

Put the scallions, fresh herbs, mayonnaise, and flaxseeds in a large bowl and stir well to combine. Add the crabmeat and give it a gentle toss.
Place the oats, hemp seeds, and seafood seasoning on a plate. Toss with your fingers to mix.
Form the crabmeat mixture into four 4-inch-wide patties and press into the oat-seed mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Mist the tops with olive oil cooking spray and transfer to the oven. Broil for 3 –5 minutes until the tops are golden.
Place the romaine in a large bowl along with the olive oil and the vinegar and toss well. Divide the romaine salad among four plates. Top each plate with two crab cakes and serve immediately.
