The refrigerator light goes on...

You can use small mandarin oranges, tangelo, tangerine or clementines for this recipe but satsumas are native to Louisiana and easily available here. Alternatively, half of a small navel orange will work but will not have the same sweetness as the smaller orange.

The crab cakes are easier to cook on a flat top griddle than in the skillet if you have one. Either way, it is key to get the pan quite hot so that the crab cakes sear nicely to help hold them together but you have to turn the heat down slightly to keep them from burning.

Satsuma Crab Cakes recipe from Dr. Gourmet
Separate the satsuma into wedges and coarsely chop up 8 of the wedges. Set aside.

Juice the rest of the wedges of the satsuma into a small bowl, discarding the solids. Add the egg yolk, mustard, salt, Cajun spice, and Worcestershire sauce and whisk together until smooth.

Add the chopped satsuma wedges, crab meat, celery, shallot, and bread crumbs and fold together.

Shape the mixture into 4 patties and place on a piece of waxed paper on a plate. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Place a large skillet over high heat and add the olive oil.

When the oil is hot, add the crab cakes and reduce the heat to medium-high.

Cook the crab cakes for 10 minutes on the first side, then turn over and cook for another 8-10 minutes.

Serve immediately.
