Smoked salmon omelette recipe

Egg yolks are full of iron and vitamins, but they’re also high in cholesterol, which is why we’ve used two full eggs and three egg whites in this smoked salmon omelette recipe. Asparagus, meanwhile, contains Vitamins A, C, E and K, and is also good for iron. The red peppers, which are a great source of Vitamin C, add some crunch to the dish. Finally, the salmon is another source of good fats and is also full of protein, making this a perfect meal if you want to build muscle.

Ingredients

2 eggs

3 egg whites

Splash of skimmed milk

Handful of asparagus

Handful of peppers

50g of smoked salmon

Salt and pepper, to season

A knob of butter or splash of olive oil

Method

Boil your asparagus in water for around five minutes.

While you’re doing so, mix your eggs and egg whites in a jug, and add a splash of skimmed milk. Chop some peppers up and throw them in too.

Once your asparagus is cooked, drain it and chop into smaller chunks and add these to your egg mixture.

Whisk your mixture and season with salt and pepper.

Pour the mix into a hot pan (feel free to use a small knob of butter or a teaspoon of quality olive oil here).

Cook the omelette for around 90 seconds to two minutes.

Once you’re happy that the bottom is cooked, take the pan off the hob and place under the grill for another 30 seconds to a minute, in order to cook the top.

Serve with your smoked salmon.
