Smoked salmon is not something I grew up eating. Honestly until a year ago I never tried it. Which is funny because I will eat raw salmon on sushi like it's going out of style. Anyone want to do a meet up over sushi?? I suddenly have a craving!! Ok back to this dish. Smoked salmon, I guess I figured it wouldn't be good, but boy was I wrong. It adds a smokey flavor without being “too fishy” and it works perfectly as the star of the show in this frittata. It's also great as an appetizer, check out these simple smoked salmon cucumber bites that would be perfect for holiday entertaining!
Frittatas and egg bakes, why do I love them so? Well let's just admit it, time is a valuable resource we don't seem to have enough of. And healthy eating is often the first thing to go from our list of priorities because it can take so much time. I mean who has time to make a meal from scratch every single day, let alone breakfast! Well that shouldn't mean boring or even worse unhealthy breakfast (I'm looking at you donuts)! When I have time I like to make egg white collard wraps, pancakes, or easy egg white kale wraps. When I know I'm going to be rushing out the door though (ahem everyday), I like to make crustless quiche, turkey sweet potato egg bakes, overnight oats, flax carrot apple muffins or smoked salmon frittata on Sunday afternoon to help me get through the week. All of these dishes can be made ahead of time and just popped in the microwave, eaten cold in the car while driving to work, or at room temperature. That's how you keep being busy out of the equation when you want to eat healthy.

I am planning to make this for my family. Does smoked salmon have sugar? My son and wife are doing 30 day elimination diet. Also what size carton of egg whites do you use? My store had 250 and 500g sizes.
Thank you
Samantha Rowland
You will need to read the ingredients of smoked salmon packages. There are sugar free versions (one is sold at Trader Joe’s). In response to the egg white carton size, you could use either size, you just may need to cook it longer with the larger size.

I am not a fan of smoked salmon, but I should give it another try. Fritattas are the best because you can out whatever you have in the refrigerator.

I LOVE frittatas! I like putting kale and turkey in mine! I think smoked salmon would taste absolutely delicious in this!
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness
I so agree on the love of fritattas and egg bakes because they are SO easy. Not to mention all the protein…which you even ADDED with that salmon. Totally diggin’ this breakfast!

rachel@ atheltic avocado
Smoked salmon yes please! The best omelet I ever had contained smoked salmon and avocado, aka deliciousness!

You have no idea how happy I was to find this at the SHINE Blog Hop today! I love smoked salmon but can’t eat it cold (my favorite way) while pregnant. Oh how I miss it. I was thinking the other day that there has to be a way to incorporate it into omelettes or something, but I just wasn’t sure how. Your recipe came at the perfect time for me. Guess what I’m pinning to make for breakfast next week! I also loved seeing that you feature gluten-free recipes. Our whole house is gluten-free due to Celiac Disease (3 of us in the house have it, across 3 generations). If you’re ever on the lookout for more gluten-free recipes, come check out my corner of the blogosphere at http://fearfultofearlessblog.com

Oh yum! I love salmon. Why have I never thought to put it in my eggs? Everything’s always better with eggs!
Beverley @ sweaty&fit
Love the video! I love being able to cook along with people haha, makes it so much easier. Looks delicious :)
Jess @hellotofit
Loving the video footage :) I had a frittata this morning, but it was asparagus and goat cheese. Smoked salmon is so delish, but I can’t think about it too much while I’m eating it, or else the texture kinda gets to me hehe :P
