Healthy Smoked Salmon Omelet with Avocado & Spinach
A fluffy omelet served with smoked salmon, creamy avocado, and fresh spinach. A clean, protein-rich breakfast that’s perfect for low-carb and healthy lifestyles.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream optional
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
- 2 –3 oz smoked salmon
- ½ ripe avocado sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- Fresh dill or chives optional
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk (if using), salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Cook the omelet: Heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and let them cook gently without stirring until mostly set.
- Fold and finish: Carefully fold the omelet in half and cook for another 30–60 seconds, just until fluffy and tender.
- Assemble the plate: Transfer the omelet to a plate. Top or serve alongside smoked salmon, avocado slices, and fresh spinach. Garnish with herbs if desired.
Notes
Tips & Variations
- Add-ins: Spread a thin layer of cream cheese or soft cheese inside the omelet before folding for extra creaminess.
- Greens swap: Use arugula or baby kale instead of spinach for a peppery bite.
- Seasoning boost: Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning or cracked pepper before serving.
- Dairy-free option: Skip the milk and use olive oil instead of butter.
Storage
- This omelet is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, the cooked omelet (without toppings) can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat.
- Freezing is not recommended, as the texture of eggs will change.
