🥚🐟 Carnivore Salmon Omelet “Salad”
Yields: 1 large serving (or 2 smaller)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
-
2–3 large eggs
-
½ cup cooked salmon (fresh, canned, or smoked — skin on if possible)
-
1 tbsp butter, ghee, or bacon fat (for cooking)
-
1 tbsp cream cheese or mascarpone (optional, for creaminess)
-
Salt to taste
-
(Optional) Sprinkle of shredded cheese, crumbled hard-boiled egg, or pork crumbles for added texture
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Salmon:
If using leftover cooked salmon, flake it into chunks. If using canned, drain and remove any bones/skin if you prefer (though it’s all edible and nutrient-dense). Lightly warm it in a skillet or microwave. -
Make the Omelet Base:
Beat eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Heat butter or ghee in a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and let them cook undisturbed until mostly set. -
Add Salmon:
Once the eggs are nearly cooked through, spoon the warm flaked salmon over one half of the omelet. Add cream cheese here if you want a rich, creamy bite. Fold the omelet over and cook for another 30 seconds to warm everything through. -
Plate as a “Salad”:
Instead of serving whole, cut or tear the omelet into bite-sized chunks and place in a bowl like a warm salad. Mix gently. Top with extra salmon, shredded boiled egg, or cheese if desired.
Optional Carnivore Toppings / Add-ins:
-
Crispy salmon skin or pork panko for crunch
-
Dollop of whipped cream cheese or sour cream
-
Bacon bits or pan-fried egg white crisps
-
Diced hard-boiled eggs
