Ingredients
Method
- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- Season the salmon with half of the salt and pepper, and let it marinate for 5 minutes.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the heavy cream along with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Whisk together until the cream is fully incorporated into the eggs, then set aside.
- Heat a sauté pan over medium heat; once heated, add olive oil to the bottom of the pan. Place the seasoned side of the salmon in the heated pan with the olive oil and cook for 2-3 minutes to sear it.
- Using a slotted spoon or spatula, break the salmon into small pieces and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring periodically.
- Add the egg mixture to the pan with the salmon, using a spatula to stir the eggs over medium heat until combined.
- Continue to work the eggs around the pan for 1 minute to prevent burning, then remove from the heat.
- After removing the pan from the heat, continue stirring the eggs and salmon in the pan over residual heat to finish cooking the eggs.
- Serve hot and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions.

Notes
Chef Tips
- Cook the eggs low and slow. Overcooked eggs ruin this recipe instantly. We want creamy, not rubbery.
- Finish with lemon zest and fresh cracked pepper. It makes the salmon pop and gives it that “brunch restaurant” flavor.
- Add your favorite seasonings for eggs. This is easily adaptable to suit your personal tastes.
- Enjoy with everything bagels, toast, or English muffins.
- Arugula salad with lemon juice and olive oil is a great complementary side.
- Crispy smashed potatoes or hash browns are an easy way to turn this into a meal for two.
- A fresh fruit bowl or sliced avocado is a great addition to round out this meal.
