These air-fryer crab cakes have a crispy crust with a savory crab-filled center flavored with fresh basil and tarragon.

A dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice brighten the flavors.

Add crabmeat and panko and stir gently.

With clean hands, shape the mixture evenly into 6 crab cakes (1/3 cup each).

Generously coat the fry basket with cooking spray.

Add 3 crab cakes to the basket; coat the crab cakes with cooking spray.

Transfer to a plate; cover to keep warm.

Repeat with the remaining 3 crab cakes.

Place 1 lettuce leaf on each of 6 plates; top each with 1 crab cake.

Top each crab cake with about 1 1/2 teaspoons sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon chives.

Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
