1/2 cup olive oil-based mayonnaise
1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
1/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats

1
Position a rack in the center of the oven. Coat a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.

Place the oats, hemp seeds, and seafood seasoning on a plate. Toss with your fingers to mix.

Form the crabmeat mixture into four 4-inch-wide patties and press into the oat-seed mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Mist the tops with olive oil cooking spray and transfer to the oven. Broil for 3-5 minutes until the tops are golden.

Place the romaine in a large bowl along with the olive oil and the vinegar and toss well. Divide the romaine salad among four plates. Top each plate with two crab cakes and serve immediately.
