- 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
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
- 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.
