My friend Heather is well known as the person who does just about everything in our school district. She's amazing at work, and to top it off, she's a spectacular cook! This is one of her favorite recipes, and now that she's shared it, it's one of mine too.

 1 tbsp Chopped Flat Parsley or Cilantro
 1.50 tbsp Mayonnaise
 1 tsp Grated lemon rind
 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
 1 Egg
 ⅓ cup Panko Bread Crumbs
 1 lb Crab Meat, Lump is bestI try to always have at least one pound of the Costco Lump Crab Meat in my fridge. It lasts a long time, and I'm crab cake or fried rice ready at any time.
 1 tbsp Blended Olive and Canola Oil
Spicy Mayo
 ¼ cup Mayonnaise
 1 tbsp Chopped Chives or Shallots (but if you bought the chives, you might as well use them!)
 2 tsp Creole Mustard (or Dijon Mustard with 1/2 tsp hot sauce)

 ⅛ tsp Salt
 1.50 tbsp Capers (If you like them)
