Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Salmon:
- 1 fillet (about 6 oz)
Eggs:
- 3 large eggs
Butter or Olive Oil:
- 1 tablespoon
Chives:
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
Salt and Pepper:
- to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Begin by either cooking your fresh salmon in a skillet or gently warming up pre-cooked smoked salmon. If using fresh salmon, season it with salt and pepper and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it’s flaky and cooked through.
- Whisk the Eggs: While the salmon is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk them until they are fully combined, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the Eggs: In a separate non-stick skillet, melt some butter or heat olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and stir gently until they start to set, forming soft curds. Remove from heat when they are just set but still creamy.
- Combine and Garnish: Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and gently fold it into the scrambled eggs. Top with freshly chopped chives for a burst of color and flavor, then serve warm.
Notes
- Use Quality Ingredients: Choose fresh and high-quality salmon and eggs for the best flavor.
- Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the eggs and remove them from the heat while they are still creamy to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add some smoked paprika or a pinch of nutmeg for an extra dimension of flavor.
- Keep it Simple: Allow the natural flavors of the salmon and eggs to take center stage.
- Adjust the Consistency: If you prefer a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking.
