My husband is a lobster fanatic! So when I was thinking of what to prepare him for Father's Day, I thought how about some lobster cakes? ...or as we say here in New England, "lobstah" cakes. 😉

Ingredients you will need

LOBSTER CAKES

• Lobster Meat - 1 pound, chopped coarsely (2 cups)
• Crackers - crushed into crumbs (may substitute bread crumbs)
• Lemon - juiced
• Green Onion -sliced
• Egg
• Greek Yogurt - plain
• Celery Salt
• Black Pepper
• Paprika
• Dry Mustard
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Ginger
• Cayenne Pepper

Lemon Dill Yogurt Sauce

• Greek Yogurt -plain
• Lemon - juiced
• Dill - fresh, finely chopped

How to make Lobster Cakes

First, add the crackers to a plastic food storage bag and crush them into crumbs with your hands. Juice the lemon. Add the lobster meat, cracker crumbs, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, green onion, ¼ cup of the Greek yogurt, egg, and spices into a bowl and combine. Cover and chill for 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to infuse, and it is easier to form the cakes when the mixture is cold.

Next, prepare the lemon dill yogurt sauce by whisking together ¼ cup of the Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, and dill. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with oil or butter. Form the mixture into six lobster cakes and place onto the baking sheet. Bake on middle rack for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve them warm with a dollop of lemon dill yogurt sauce and garnish with lemon slices, parley, and/or green onion.

Scrumptious!

• Baked Potato

• Summer Squash
