SMOKED SALMON OMELETTE

This smoked salmon omelette is the perfect high protein breakfast when you want to feel a little fancy.  I used a special ingredient I picked up while in Seattle, WA…smoked salmon. Smoked salmon is something I almost never buy. I knew as I went into the state of Washington that it was going to be my special splurge for myself.

Over the years I have shifted the way I think about “treats”. Treating yourself doesn’t always have to involve dinners out, cocktails, or desserts. It can simply be a purchase at the grocery store or speciality market that you don’t normally buy yourself. Smoked salmon is this for me. Try to think of nice quality ingredients that you enjoy and that are healthy and within your goals the next time you want a treat.  Filet mignon, wild mushrooms, fresh cuts of fish, and fresh herbs are a few examples that come to mind.

I love adding additional meat to my eggs in the morning. Whether it’s my homemade turkey sausage in a scramble or shredded chicken, pork, or beef in an omelette. Adding 2-4 ounces of pre-cooked meat to your eggs is a fantastic way to bump up the protein and prevent egg exhaustion by adding variety.

I use a ton of fresh dill in this omelette because I was able to get a huge bushel for only $1.50. If you’re not a fan or can’t get it that cheap use less or switch it out for a different herb or spinach leaves.  Fresh herbs really can be hit or miss not only on quality but also on price.   If I were to only have one of those small plastic containers of herbs that sell for $2-$3 I would be a bit more stingy with the amount used!
