How To Make a Salmon Omelette
Making this omelette is easy and pretty straightforward. Make sure you have all of the ingredients and tools ready before you start, because eggs burn quickly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until fully beaten and frothy.
Heat a non-stick pan to medium heat and drizzle a little olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the egg mixture and cook. Using a spatula, push the edges as they settle. The eggs are done when the bottom is set and the top slightly wet.
Add the cream cheese to one side of the omelette. Add the smoked salmon, capers, and chives on top of the cream cheese.
What’s the difference between lox and smoked salmon?
Smoked salmon is cured and brined, then smoked. Lox is just cured. This is why it is so important that you purchase from a reputable source if using lox.
Can I substitute the cream cheese?
If you are not a fan of cream cheese you can use any cheese you like but I would go for a good quality parmesan cheese or goat cheese.
What can I pair with this smoked salmon omelette?
I love garnishing this omelette with light sour cream or tzatziki sauce. You can pair it with a fruit bowl, crispy hash browns, or toast.
