Recipe Instructions
For the Crumbs:
Using your food processor, process the crumbs until very fine.
For the Mousse:
In a food processor, combine the egg whites, salmon, garlic, and salt & white pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients create a mousse.
For the Sauce:
In a glass bowl, mix all ingredients and adjust to your liking. All measurements are really approximate.
For the Cakes:
Preheat Oven to 375˚F 190˚C
In a large glass or stainless steel bowl, combine the crab, bell peppers and the mousse and mix until well coated. Divide into balls. Form a cake using the PVC ring (3" diameter by 1" thick). Roll into the crumbs until totally coated.
Cool the cakes in the refrigerator or freezer for about 1 hour. In a non-stick sauté pan, heat some extra-virgin olive oil. Sauté the cakes until golden brown on one side. Turn them over and cook for a couple more minutes. Transfer onto a cookie sheet lined with a silicone mat and bake for about 10 minutes or until inside temperature reaches 135º to 140º
