SALSA:
1 ripe mango, about 1 pound, peeled, seeded, cut into l/4 inch dice
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno chile pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
CRAB CAKE:
3/4 pound fresh, frozen, or canned lump crabmeat
1 cup plain bread crumbs
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg, beaten
2 green onions, white and light green parts only, minced
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

To make the salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the salsa ingredients. Mix well and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to 2 hours, to let the flavors blend. Drain the crabmeat in a sieve [if frozen, allow to defrost]. In a medium bowl, flake the meat with a fork and discard any shells or cartilage that might remain. Add the remaining ingredients, mixing gently but thoroughly. Shape into 8 small cakes, each about 2 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. Place the cakes on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or as long as 2 hours, so they will hold together on the grill. Place crab cakes in a foil tin pan, grill over Medium Direct High heat until the bread crumbs are toasted, 6 to 8 minutes, turning once very carefully with a spatula. Serve warm with the salsa spooned on top.
