Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces salmon filets
  • ¼ cup onion
  • 1 cup sweet peppers
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  • Add salmon, onions, peppers, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until salmon is cooked through and onions are translucent. Remove mixture from skillet. Set aside.
  • Whisk eggs in a small bowl.
  • Spray the same skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Pour half of beaten eggs into the heated skillet. As eggs begin to set, loosen the edges, allowing the center to cook also.
  • Place half of the salmon mixture on the set eggs and sprinkle half the cheese over top.
  • Fold the omelet in half and allow it to sit for one minute.
  • Repeat this process to make your second omelet.
  • OPTIONAL: Top omelet with additional onions, peppers, and cheese

Notes

  • Use a nonstick pan: I prefer to use a nonstick pan for this recipe because even with oil, eggs tend to stick a little bit. This will make folding it easier.
  • Ensure the salmon and veggies are cooked: Use a fork to check that the salmon, onions, and peppers are fully cooked and tender before adding them to the omelet.
  • Allow the pan time to get hot: Letting the pan get hot enough not only helps prevent sticking, but also adds a beautiful color to your food.
