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.
