Core Crab Cakes
1 lb crab meat
3 T FF plain yogurt
1/2 cup quick oats
2 T dijon mustard
1 T lemon juice
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
2 T finely diced shallots

2 t Old Bay Seasoning
olive oil
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the olive oil. Cover and refrigerate for 2-12 hours prior to shaping into patties.
Shape mixture into cakes. Drizzle just enough olive oil into a large non-stick skillet to ease the browning process. Heat pan over medium-high heat. Brown cakes on both sides. If you prefer, bake them in a 400* preheated oven in a glass baking dish coated with cooking spray. Keep an eye on them; they will crisp up quickly.

Pan-Seared Tuna with Lime Pepper Crust
4 tuna steaks (3/4 to 1-inch thick, about 6 ounces each)
Zest and juice of one (1) lime
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1/2 to 1 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Extra-virgin olive oil
NOTE: You can substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest and 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice in place of the lime.
Rinse the tuna steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Grate the zest from the lime (you should have about 1 1/2 teaspoons), then squeeze the juice and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine lime zest, thyme, pepper and salt; stir to mix. Lightly rub both sides of the tuna steaks with olive oil. Rub the seasoning mix on the tuna steaks; coating them well.
Using a heavy bottomed sauté pan or a cast-iron pan, warm the olive oil. Increase the heat to high and place the tuna in the pan. Sear for 1 minute, then turn over carefully, reducing the heat to medium. Sear the other side for 1 more minute until medium rare. (Do not overcook the tuna or the meat will become dry and lose its flavor.) Pour the lime juice over the tuna steaks right after you take them from the stove, then serve.
