Salmon Omelette
Estimated time: 10 minutes.
What you need:
- Eggs (as many as you want)
- Smoke salmon (1/2 slice per egg)
- Salt (to taste)
- Olive oil
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Optional: green onions (for added flavor and decoration)
Get to it:
- Crack fresh eggs on a small bowl, add salt and pepper. (Some fancy people prefer to add those after the eggs are cooked. Suit yourself.)
- Whisk the eggs, enough that they look a uniform yellow. Avoid whisking for more than 60 seconds.
- Cut the salmon (1 slice per egg) in small pieces.
- On a non-stick pan, lightly coat bottom with olive oil.
- Turn on medium or medium-low (4 for electric) heat. Never high heat. Really.
- Add salmon to pan. Lightly fry until some borders look crisp. (Turn and mix frequently, but be patient. Low heat takes more time, cooks better the eggs.)
- Add the eggs. Stop mixing it. You will need to let the bottom of the eggs cook a bit before trying to turn it.
- After a good minute, probe the bottom. If it looks firm, fold 1/3 on itself. Then fold at opposite side, another 1/3.
- Now you have a strip of omelette that should be easier to flip. Flip with the spatula, in one move. (I don't recommend trying to flip with the pan, unless you are a pro.)
- Let the other side cook for at least 30 seconds. Serve. (With time, you will adjust doneness to your taste.)
- Optional: after serving on plate, add chopped green onions.
Recommended Gear:
- A good silicone spatula, rated for high temperature.
- Small ceramic pan.
