2. In a medium bowl, stir together crabmeat, panko, and parsley. Fold in mayo mixture and reserve.
3. Add the egg white, smoked salmon, lemon zest, dill, salt, and pepper to your food processor and blend on high until smooth.
4. Form 8 to 10 patties layered as follows: 1/3 crab meat,1 1/3 salmon mousse 1/3 crabmeat.
5. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, coat pan with oil and heat until shimmering. Add crab cakes and cook, in batches, until golden and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Serve with lemon and cajun remoulade sauce and your favorite side. I made a grated radish salad to go with it.
