Healthy Fish & Seafood Recipes Healthy Fish Recipes Healthy Salmon Recipes Healthy Smoked Salmon Recipes Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Omelet 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews The key to this healthy smoked salmon omelet recipe is cooking the eggs over low heat so the curds set up nice and soft.

Melt butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, tilting the pan to make sure the entire bottom is coated. Add the egg mixture and cook for 1 minute without stirring. Sprinkle salmon, cheese, onion and dill over one half of the eggs. Cook for 1 minute. Using a flexible spatula, lift the bare side to let raw egg from the middle flow underneath; you may need to tilt the pan slightly. Continue lifting in different spots until there's almost no raw egg on top. Cook 2 minutes more. Using the spatula, flip the bare side over the filling, folding the omelet in half, and cook for 1 minute. (If the eggs are starting to brown, lower the heat.) Carefully flip the omelet over and cook 1 minute more. Serve immediately, garnished with more dill and pepper, if desired.
