Method

10 steps · 45 min

01
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F, with the rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or a nonstick cooking mat.
02
Combine Crab Cake Base
In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, diced red bell pepper, half of the diced green onion, and half of the bread crumbs. Set aside the remaining green onion and bread crumbs for later.
03
Season Crab Mixture
Mix in the honey and chili powder, then season the crab mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
04
Form Crab Cakes
Form the crab cakes by pressing them into a 1/2 cup measure, squeezing tightly so they hold their shape. If you're shaping them by hand, press them together firmly to prevent them from falling apart.
Arrange the formed crab cakes on the lined baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch between each one.
05
Coat Crab Cakes
Lightly coat the outside of each crab cake with olive oil. This helps them brown and form a crisp outer crust as they bake.
06
Bake Crab Cakes
Bake the crab cakes at 375°F for 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
07
Fry Bacon
Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a large skillet until it's crispy. Set it aside to drain on paper towels, then crumble it into small pieces.
08
Prep Greens and Melt Butter
Finely chop the spinach and watercress stems. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
09
Sauté Greens Mixture
Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute. Then, stir in the remaining green onion, bread crumbs, and watercress stems, and sauté for another 1 minute.
Finally, add the chopped spinach and cook until it's wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
10
Serve Crab Cakes
To serve, place a crab cake on top of a smear of the spinach mixture, then sprinkle the plate with the crumbled bacon.
