Baked Crab Cakes with Lemon Herb Aioli

Creamy and versatile, Stonewall Kitchen’s Lemon Herb Aioli makes for a wonderful topping on all types of fish, tacos or burgers.  Here is an easy crab cake recipe that is perfect for a Monday summer evening. See the recipe below for a list of ingredients and step-by-step instructions. However, if you aren’t feeling up to making a homemade crab cake, then head on over to your local grocery store and pick up a pack of frozen crab cakes to make dinner even simpler. If you are wondering what to serve along side the crab cakes, might I suggest something crunchy, like green beans or white sweet corn to add a little contrasting texture to the meal.
