Stir the first 8 ingredients together in a medium bowl (through egg).
Fold in scallions, crab meat and 3/4 cup panko until evenly combined. Do not over stir/break up the crab too much. ?
Divide crab mixture into 9 even portions and form into 3/4-inch thick patties. Do not pack them too tightly.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or freeze for 60 minutes.
Prepare Creamy Tomatillo Jalapeno Dip by adding all of the ingredients to your blender and blending until smooth.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. ?
When ready to make crab cakes, coat crab mixture in remaining 3/4 cup panko, firmly pressing the panko into the patties so it sticks. ?
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Working in batches, pan fry crab cakes until golden and crisp, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Serve with Creamy Tomatillo Jalapeno Dip.
