Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 ounces smoked salmon
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the red onion and set aside. Chop the smoked salmon into small pieces.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a medium, non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
Add the red onions to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they become soft and translucent.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture evenly into the skillet. Cook for 1 minute without stirring, allowing the eggs to set around the edges.
Sprinkle the smoked salmon and capers evenly over one half of the omelet. Continue to cook the omelet for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is set and the top is slightly creamy.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half to cover the salmon and caper filling. Gently press down to secure the fold.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with fresh dill, if desired. Serve immediately.
