I
had some salmon left from my baked salmon meal the other day and decided to
turn it into an easy breakfast. I looked
at our go-to recipe for salmon cakes and used the basic ingredients from it –
the fish was already seasoned. I sautéed
some chopped onion and red sweet pepper with about a tbsp. of rough chopped
capers until the veggies were about soft. I than added some chopped salmon and cooked until it was warmed
through.
In the meantime I had three beaten eggs cooking in a covered 10” skillet until the eggs were about set. Note the bright yellow color from the farm fresh eggs that we're still getting for $2.50/dz - I almost feel like I'm stealing them.

I
added the salmon mixture and some shredded cheese, folded it over and plated.
I
know I shouldn’t do it but it’s too late to stop now, so the extra salmon on my
plate is to slowly give to the pups so I don’t have to listen to their whining
while I eat, plus I'm just a big softy.
It
was a delicious way to start my day and a great use of the leftover fish.

Sounds like a very tasty way to start your day.
ReplyDeleteLook excellent.
ReplyDeleteBut we seldom have leftover fish mainly because I portion our meals.
Maybe make extra next time.
Looks great and a perfect way to begin the day! I love salmon but never thought of it with eggs, must try next time we have salmon.
ReplyDeleteLarry, I do like salmon with eggs and cheese...but I like it best with soft poached eggs and a runny yoke. Have a great day! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteLarry...this looks soooo delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful, and without the toast is actually relatively low in calories. See there? You're already working on your knee load reduction program (which sounds so much less upsetting than "diet").
ReplyDeleteWhat a fancy omelet! I would love salmon in the morning
ReplyDeleteHa! You and Alexis both. Trevor, Brett, and I catch her all of the time feeding stuff to Ramsay and we give her a teasing hard time about it. Thank goodness he's active or all of the pancakes and brisket would make him fat!
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like a plan! I can almost taste it Larry. Pete says, you should make that. :J So since I always have more than enough for salmon cakes, this is a go-to. Thanks and hope all is well.
ReplyDeletewell...you know me and seafood for breakfast. But it sure sounds good for dinner.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of putting left-over salmon in an omelet! Great idea and looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe just had some salmon for dinner - what a shame there are no leftovers! I could have enjoyed this for breakfast - yummy
ReplyDeleteNever even knew you could do that with salmon, shows I have no cooking skills lol
ReplyDeleteLarry, I think you know how much Moe loves his breakfasts. He would be quite happy to wake up to that beauty.

You are still the breakfast king! It looks like mouth watering good omelet. Love those bright yellow eggs - wish I could get mine for $2.50 a dozen.
ReplyDeleteTiming is everything! We are having breakfast for dinner tonight....and I just happen to have some leftover salmon! Great idea.
