How to cook deliciously - Crab Cakes with Fresh Mango-Peach Salsa

1. Stage

Score mango flesh and cut into chunks. Cut peaches into chunks. Transfer both into a bowl with tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, honey, and balsamic vinegar; stir carefully to combine, being careful not to bruise the fruit. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the crab cakes, or up to 3 days.

2. Stage

Inspect crabmeat and discard any shells. Transfer meat to a bowl. Add green onions, salt, and pepper; gently mix to combine with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, making sure you don't break up the crabmeat.

3. Stage

Add eggs and flour; stir with a fork until combined. Shape mixture into eight 4- to 5-inch patties.

4. Stage

Place panko in a partially (not fully) sealed plastic bag. Roll over the crumbs with a rolling pin until crushed but not too fine; air will escape the bag through the opening. Transfer panko to a shallow bowl. Gently press crab cakes into the crumbs to coat on both sides, being careful not to break them.

5. Stage

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot, but not burning or smoking. Cook 4 crab cakes at a time in the hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, then repeat with remaining crab cakes.

6. Stage

Serve on top of or alongside chilled salsa.
