Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 large eggs, preferably free-range or organic
  • 1/4 cup walnuts (30 grams), roughly chopped and lightly toasted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh herbs (chives or parsley), finely chopped (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 5 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Alternatively, toast walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Set aside to cool.
  2. Chop fresh salmon into small bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and cook gently for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through but still tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and lemon zest if using. Beat gently with a fork or whisk until just combined, keeping some texture.
  4. In the same skillet (wipe clean if needed), heat a bit of olive oil over low-medium heat. Pour in eggs and let sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds. Using a spatula, gently fold eggs from edges to center, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  5. After about 2 minutes, stir in cooked salmon pieces and half the toasted walnuts.
  6. Continue folding gently until eggs are softly set but still moist and creamy. Remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
  7. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle remaining walnuts on top, and garnish with fresh chopped herbs. Add a light squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep heat low when cooking eggs to avoid rubbery texture. Toast walnuts to enhance flavor and crunch. Use smoked salmon as a convenient alternative by adding it at the end off heat. Substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if preferred. For dairy-free, use olive oil only. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
