Sear each crab cake 2 minutes per side, then set aside on a paper towel lined plate. Serve immediately with basil-avocado yogurt sauce, or refrigerate and reheat in the oven to serve.

 
Basil-Avocado Yogurt Sauce:

(1.) Combine 1 avocado and 10 basil leaves in the food processor until smooth. Add in 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and combine.
