Melt 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place one-third of crab cakes in pan. Cook, turning once, until golden brown on each side (4 to 6 minutes). Repeat two more times with remaining butter, olive oil and crab cakes.
Place browned crab cakes onto baking sheets. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes or until heated through. Serve immediately with sour cream sauce.
