Ingredients You’ll Need
-
2–3 eggs
-
1–2 tablespoons milk or water (for softer texture)
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
-

How to Make Omelette with Salmon
Step 1: Beat the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add milk or water, a pinch of salt, and some pepper. Beat well with a fork or whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
In a non-stick frying pan, melt the butter or heat the oil over medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit undisturbed for 15–20 seconds, then gently push the edges inward with a spatula while tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow to the sides. Repeat until the top is nearly set but still a little soft in the middle.
Step 4: Add the Salmon
Sprinkle the flaked salmon evenly over one half of the omelette. Add cream cheese, chopped herbs, or onions if using. Let it warm through for about 30 seconds.
Step 5: Fold and Serve
Carefully fold the omelette over the filling and let it cook for another 30 seconds to seal. Slide onto a plate and garnish with extra herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with toasted bread, a small green salad, or avocado slices on the side. It also goes well with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt.
This Omelette with Salmon is full of flavor, easy to make, and works well for any time of the day. Whether you use smoked or cooked salmon, it brings a light richness that turns a basic omelette into something special.
