Crispy Golden Cabbage Patties

A budget-friendly, savory snack or side dish that turns simple cabbage into something delicious.

Prepare the Cabbage: Finely shred the cabbage. To ensure crispiness, you can lightly salt the cabbage, let it sit for 5 minutes, and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Make the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated cheese. Add the egg and flour. Season with salt and pepper, stirring until the cabbage is evenly coated and the mixture is tacky.
Fry the Patties: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop portions of the mixture into the pan and flatten them gently with a spatula.
Cook until Golden: Fry for 3–5 minutes per side until the exterior is deep golden brown and the center is cooked through. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon

A vibrant, high-protein meal that pairs perfectly with the onion and garlic skillet you mentioned earlier.

Whisk the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, both types of mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
Season the Fish: Pat the salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Sear: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Place salmon skin-side up and sear for 3–4 minutes until golden.
Glaze and Finish: Flip the fillets. Pour the honey mustard mixture over the salmon. Continue cooking for another 4–5 minutes while spooning the sauce over the fish as it thickens into a glaze.
Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
