Preparation
Cook the crabs in boiling salted water for 12 minutes, then cool them immediately by plunging them into very cold water. You can also use already cooked crab. Remove the meat and squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands.
Cook the potato as desired: peeled and chopped in boiling water or in the oven, with the skin on, wrapped in aluminum foil. Puree (flesh only).
In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mashed potato, scallion, red bell pepper, egg, mayonnaise, plain yogurt, Worcestershire, sriracha, garlic powder, and dill (or parsley). Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl. Chill in the fridge.
Use your hands to shape the crab mixture into crab cakes.
Place the flour in a deep dish. Coat the crab cakes in the flour and gently shake off any excess flour.
In a hot pan, cook the crab cakes for about 5 minutes on each side or until they’ve turned golden brown. Place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot with the creamy lemon and pear sauce.
