Instructions
Remove salmon from freezer. Let sit 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop vegetables.
Add oil to pan (pan must be at least 2" high and have a lid). Add salmon fillets. Cook 4 minutes per side. Watch out for sizzling. Remove to plate.
If necessary, add one to two teaspoons olive oil to pan. Add chopped bell pepper, onion, and zucchini to pan. Top with salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs. Sautee five minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, break apart the salmon fillets with forks.
Add salmon to vegetables and mix thoroughly. Use spatula to scrape bottom of pan. Spread salmon and vegetables evenly in pan - don't pat down. Top with beaten eggs. Make sure eggs cover all veggies and salmon by tilting the pan. Top with lid and lower heat to medium-low. Cook five minutes.
Add shredded cheese over egg mixture. Cover and cook another three minutes.
Serve in slices with sour cream, avocado, and/or chopped green onion.
Notes
Fresh salmon filets are easy to use in this recipe as well. Remove salmon from refrigerator for about 10 minutes to bring to room temperature. Season as desired (salt and pepper will do). Cook on medium-high heat in skillet with 1-2 tablespoons olive oil until golden brown (3-4 minutes), then flip and sear other side. Remove and follow remaining directions above.Save this recipe on Pinterest!Make this recipe?
