Simple Smoked Salmon Scramble

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.  Going grain free, gluten free and dairy free has its challenges and one is keeping a good balance of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fats.  Adding smoked salmon to scrambled eggs adds those Omega 3’s I am looking for.  Plus, it adds some salty deliciousness to this dish.  I love the egg salmon combo.  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.  Lately, my zucchini have been used to create a zucchini brownie recipe that is worth checking out!

The smoked salmon I buy is “wild salmon” and is cold smoked.  There is “farm raised” salmon, but I prefer and choose wild whenever possible.  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.

I have used organic eggs for this recipe, but I have been on the lookout for a local source of pastured, farm fresh eggs.  While vacationing at the Cape (Cape Cod) a few weeks ago, I thought I had found my farm fresh eggs.  Oh, boy I was thrilled, and could imagine the taste and pictured myself eating those freshest of fresh eggs.  Well, either the chickens weren’t laying or I would get to the farm too late, because every time I checked – no eggs!  I would even get there early in the morning.  Nothing.  Oh, the agony of defeat.  Ha, ha!

They had gorgeous, organic zucchini though.  Plenty to create and test my  Zucchini Brownies.

Enjoy your day!
