Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make this smoked salmon omelette:
- Eggs - The base of your omelette wrap. I recommend using pasture-raised or free-range eggs for the best flavor and color.
- Smoked Salmon - Choose high-quality cold-smoked salmon. It adds richness, umami, and a bit of saltiness.
- Fresh Herbs (Mint & Chives) - These add brightness and a fresh herbal note. You can also try dill or parsley for variation.
- Herb Cream Cheese or Tzatziki - This adds creaminess and a tangy contrast to the smoky salmon. It also helps hold the wrap together.
- Greens - Baby spinach, arugula, or lamb's lettuce add crunch and nutrition.
- Salt & Pepper - Essential for seasoning your eggs.
Optional add-ins - Thin slices of cucumber, grated carrot, or radish for extra crunch and freshness.
How to Prepare Smoked Salmon Omelette
- Make the Omelette
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk with chopped mint, chives, salt, and pepper. - Cook the Omelette
Heat a little oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook on both sides until set. Let it cool slightly. - Assemble the Wrap
Spread the cooled omelette with herb cream cheese or tzatziki. Lay the smoked salmon on top, followed by your greens. - Roll & Serve
Roll the omelette up tightly like a wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately-or wrap it up for later.
Meal prep tip:
If you're making this for meal prep, cook the omelette ahead and store it separately. Assemble with toppings just before serving.
How to Store Smoked Salmon Omelette
- Fridge: Store the cooked omelette (without toppings) in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Add the toppings just before eating.
- On the go: Assemble the full wrap in the morning, wrap it tightly in beeswax wraps, foil or parchment paper, and take it with you. Keep chilled until ready to eat.
