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.
