Steps

1. To make the crab cakes: Put the crab meat and prawns in a blender or food processor bowl and pulse once or twice. You can also easily just mince the fish using a large knife on a chopping board.
2. Add the 150g panko breadcrumbs, red chilli, garlic, spring onions, egg, mixed herbs, lemon juice, and zest. Season well.
3. Use a metal spoon to gently combine the ingredients, until it comes together and is evenly mixed. Cover and place in the fridge for at least an hour (or up to 8 hours, if making ahead) to firm up.
4. To cook the crab cakes: Shape the crab cakes into little discs approximately 4cm in diameter and about 2cm deep. Add a neutral tasting oil to a large, non-stick frying pan and carefully fry the crab cakes off in batches – you are aiming for a golden colour on each side. Put on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment.
5. To make the dressing: Meanwhile, combine the dressing ingredients by whisking them together (this can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge, too. Just make sure to let it come to room temperature before serving.
6. To assemble the dish: Arrange the leaves on a board or platter. Scatter the cucumber and tomatoes over. Heat the crab cakes through in an oven preheated to 200 C for ten minutes.
7. Place the warm crab cakes on the salad. Add the chilli and cress at the end as a garnish, just before serving.
8. Serve with little bowls of the salad dressing and lemon wedges.
