Ingredients

• Smoked salmon – use cold smoked or hot smoked salmon in this recipe. If you don’t have smoked salmon, you could use leftover salmon but won’t get that same smoked flavor.
• Roasted bell peppers – the roasted bell peppers are slightly sweet and add another layer of that smoky flavor.
• Frozen kale or spinach – using frozen kale or spinach ensures that the frittata is packed with veggies without having to wilt down the kale or spinach in advance.
• Eggs and egg whites – I like to use a mixture of whole eggs and egg whites. The eggs help give it the traditional flavor while the egg whites help to add a lot of protein.

How to make smoked salmon frittata

Start by preheating the oven to 375F.

Defrost the kale in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. After defrosting, squeeze out any excess water from the kale.

Remove the roasted red peppers from the jar (drain the liquid) and chop into bite size pieces. Chop the smoked salmon into bite size pieces as well.

Break the eggs and add them to a bowl along with the egg whites, Stir well until the eggs are broken up and well distributed.

Once the eggs are broken down, add the defrosted kale, roasted red peppers, smoked salmon and spices. Stir well.

Pour the mixture into a pie pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray (olive oil or avocado oil). Bake in a 375F oven for 25 minutes.

Other additions

You can add more veggies, cheese or even defrosted hash browns to this smoked salmon frittata. Some other great additions include;

• Veggies: Tomatoes, sauteed onions, sauteed mushrooms, sauteed or roasted air fryer asparagus, broccoli or cauliflower.
• Creaminess: Cream cheese (dairy free or regular), add just a few tablespoons the the egg mixture before baking.
• Other flavors: Sundried tomatoes, pesto, chimichurri sauce, diced chipotle peppers or pickled jalapenos
• Spice: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of sriracha.

What to serve with salmon frittata

It’s very normal to serve a salad along with frittata. You could also make breakfast sausage, bacon or potatoes.

• Salad – green salad with balsamic dressing or asparagus salad with lemon dressing
• Potatoes: I love making air fryer breakfast potatoes

Common questions

Do you have to cook smoked salmon?

Smoked salmon is already cooked, so you do not need to cook it before adding it to the recipe.

Can you use all eggs instead of egg whites?

Yes! If you don’t want to use egg whites, you can replace them with eggs. For this recipe, you would want to use 12 eggs total to replace the 4 eggs plus egg whites.

I prefer to use egg whites to increase the protein in the frittata without adding as much fat.
