With all the sodium floating around in this dish, I found it easy enough to omit the additional salt, but other than that, I followed the recipe right on down & had some great tasting crab cakes, half of which went along with half a chicken breast recipe to feed a house-bound couple with whom I often share meals! Paired with your Lemon Dill Crab Cake Sauce, these little tasties were outstanding! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
