A quick and delicious Easy Salmon Omelette recipe featuring fluffy eggs, rich smoked salmon, and a touch of crème fraîche, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or light meal.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Knob of butter

Filling and Garnish

  • 2 slices smoked salmon
  • 1 tbsp crème fraîche
  • 4 chives, finely chopped
  • Sprigs of fresh parsley
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggs: Crack the 3 large eggs into a bowl, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, ensuring a light and fluffy omelette.
  2. Heat the pan and melt butter: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a knob of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the base of the pan but not letting it brown.
  3. Cook the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet, swirling gently to evenly cover the surface. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set but the center remains slightly runny.
  4. Add the smoked salmon: Lay the 2 slices of smoked salmon over one half of the omelette. Spoon 1 tablespoon of crème fraîche over the salmon, then sprinkle the finely chopped chives evenly on top.
  5. Fold and finish cooking: Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the eggs to finish setting and the fillings to warm through without overcooking.
  6. Serve and garnish: Gently slide the omelette onto a plate. Garnish with sprigs of fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side to add a fresh citrus zest if desired.

Notes

  • You can replace crème fraîche with sour cream or Greek yogurt if unavailable.
  • For a creamier texture, add a small amount of milk when whisking the eggs.
  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs to keep the omelette tender.
  • Fresh herbs like dill or tarragon also complement smoked salmon well.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
