Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 6 oz smoked salmon (lox)
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, then whisk until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Slice the onion into thin half-moons and the red bell pepper into thin strips. Chop the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and finely chop the fresh dill.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent and slightly caramelized.
Step 5
Add the sliced red bell peppers to the skillet and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the smoked salmon pieces and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until just warmed through. Avoid overcooking to prevent the salmon from becoming tough.
Step 7
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Use a spatula to gently stir the mixture, ensuring even cooking and avoiding over-stirring. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still soft and creamy.
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped dill over the top, give it a final gentle stir, and remove from heat.
Step 9
Serve immediately on plates or with toasted bread on the side. Garnish with additional dill if desired!
