This easy, nutritious, protein-packed breakfast is also a decadent meal that can be made in just a few minutes.
If you are looking to add healthy Omega 3 fats to your life, then one great and easy way to do that is to eat salmon. Adding smoked salmon to scrambled eggs adds those Omega 3's I am looking for. I threw in the spinach because I had it on hand and it is an easy way to add a veggie. I sometimes add red pepper or zucchini if I have that.
The smoked salmon I buy is "wild salmon" and is cold smoked. This is a simple, easy dish that comes together in a few minutes.
Above is the scrambled eggs cooking in my cast iron skillet. If I left everything intact (without stirring) for a few minutes and then flipped it at the center it could also be made as an omelet. When I do that I cut the omelet in half as it really makes two servings or one generous serving.
- 2 eggs I used extra large
- 1 cup large handful of spinach - optional about 1/2
- 1/3 cup smoked salmon chopped into bite size pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 Tablespoon water or almond milk or coconut milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil for the pan
-
Place coconut oil in pan (I use a cast iron skillet) and turn on heat to medium low to begin preheating pan.
-
In medium sized mixing bowl, add eggs and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Whisk eggs and add water or milk. Whisk some more until a little frothy.
-
Add salmon, chopped spinach and dill to mixing bowl. Gently mix ingredients together.
-
Add mixture to your pan, adjust temperature if needed and stir until mixture becomes scrambled and eggs are cooked.
-
Enjoy.
