1. In a medium skillet, heat one teaspoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, red pepper, and scallions, and sauté for 4 minutes. Add the vegetables to a bowl.

2. Add the egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Next, add the bread crumbs and crabmeat. Shape into patties and place on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

3. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Add the crab cakes to the baking sheet and drizzle the crab cakes with remaining olive oil. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Cook a bit longer if crab cakes still need some browning.
