An omelet with salmon and chives is a delicious (lunch) dish you can make quickly. The soft structure of the omelette combines perfectly with the salty taste of the salmon. The chives make it spicy and fresh. A delicious dish for brunch, lunch, or a light evening meal with a salad.
Omelette with Smoked Salmon
As a Dutch girl, I usually eat a sandwich or a sandwich for lunch. And cheese is an absolute favorite here (it couldn't be otherwise;-)). But sometimes, once a week, I make something different for lunch. Japanese Ramen Noodle soup, pancakes (yes, we eat them for lunch), grilled cheese sandwich with goat cheese, or a delicious quiche such as katmer pie. Or something like this omelette with salmon and chives.
The taste of the salmon is present, but not overpowering. Chives provide a little spice, and the creamy structure of the eggs completes the whole. This omelet is not only tasty, but also easy to prepare. Add a piece of bread, and you have a great lunch on the table!
