Salmon Omelette

Keaton, Grandpa and dinner - in Seward, Alaska. (2009)

This is a great recipe when you have salmon leftovers. Carl raved about this one last night. Said it was "restaurant quality". (Katie coined that phrase awhile back and it still makes me smile.) ...Score!

You will need:

4 large eggs whipped with a touch of milk added.
1/2 or so cup grated cheese (your fave) or feta (I used Costco mex mix)
1/2 cup fresh tomato, diced
4 tablespoons (really just however much you want) onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced fine
1 cup of cooked salmon, deboned and diced
2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped fine (I used dried dill to taste)
salt & pepper to taste
butter(used to coat bottom of egg pan)

Instructions:

Take a medium sized non-stick egg pan (saute pan) and add to moderate heat. Add enough butter to the pan to coat the bottom and melt.
Add the following ingredients: onion, celery, and tomato to pan and cook until onion is soft. Remove 1/2 of the sauted veggies and reserve. Add 1/2 of the egg mixture to the pan and cook until almost done. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cheese over the egg mixture, 1/2 of the cooked salmon and 1/2 of the dill. Salt & pepper to taste. Using a pan safe spatula, fold omelette in half and finish cooking. Remove from heat and place on a dinner plate. Voila!

Repeat method using remaining ingredients for the second omelette.

Serves 2 - 3

Enjoy!
