These quick and easy pan-fried crab cakes are made light and fluffy and with added texture from crushed pretzels.

Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter, divided

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat
1 jumbo egg

Directions

1 Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in the hot butter until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
