Ingredients

• Fresh crab meat - 200 grams
• Breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Red bell pepper - 50 grams, finely diced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Burger buns - 2, preferably whole grain
• Lettuce leaves - 2

• Zesty aioli - 4 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, parsley, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Shape the crab mixture into two patties, ensuring they hold together well.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate pan or in the oven until lightly golden.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing lettuce on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a crab patty, a slice of tomato, and a generous spread of zesty aioli. Top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as a light salad or sweet potato fries.
