Ingredients
- 1 can of pink salmon, drained and ready
- A handful of finely chopped onion
- A generous amount of all-purpose flour, with more on standby
- A single large egg for binding
- A sprinkling of ground black pepper
- A dash of lite salt, adjust to your liking
- A pack of pretzels, about 10 ounces
- A drizzle of olive oil, or as necessary
Step 1
Combine the flavorful salmon, diced onion, a sprinkle of flour, a cracked egg, a dash of pepper, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Next, take a moment to crush some pretzels in a plastic bag, creating a satisfying crunch. Transfer the crushed pretzels to a separate bowl.
Step 3
Now, embrace your inner artist and shape the salmon mixture into delightful patties. Gently coat each patty with the crunchy crushed pretzels, adding a layer of texture and flavor.
Step 4
In a skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat, creating a sizzle of anticipation. Carefully place the patties in the pan and let them sizzle to golden perfection on each side, taking around 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 5
Once beautifully browned, transfer the patties to a waiting nest of paper towels, allowing them to rest and soak up any excess oil. Finally, plate your masterpiece and savor the delicious results.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your crunchy salmon cakes with a pretzel twist fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help preserve their texture and flavors.
- 2. For a fun twist, try storing your salmon cakes in individual silicone muffin cups. This not only keeps them separate and prevents sticking, but also makes for a cute and portable snack.
