This delicious salmon omelette is a great savory option for breakfast or brunch. With tender smoked salmon, a smattering of cream cheese, and plenty of fresh herbs, folded inside fluffy, seasoned eggs, it’s full of protein and ready to eat in minutes.
🍳 What Makes This Recipe So Good
- This salmon omelette is jam-packed with flavor! The eggs are super fluffy, the smoked salmon is savory, and the tangy cream cheese is mixed with fragrant fresh chives and dill.
- It couldn’t be any more perfect for an easy yet satisfying breakfast. It’s naturally keto and low carb, but there’s plenty of protein and yummy fats to keep you feeling full and nourished for hours.
👩🏼🍳 Chef’s Tips
- Try to not overcook the eggs. Omelettes cook really quickly, we’re talking 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat. Let the eggs cook until they’re almost fully set, meaning they don’t look runny anymore, but they’re not 100% cooked yet. You also don’t want to let the skillet get too hot, or your eggs could turn brown very quickly.
- I recommend using thinly sliced cold-smoked salmon here. It’s cured in salt and then smoked, as opposed to hot-smoked salmon which is very flaky and looks more like a poached piece of fish.
