In this recipe, we take the classic Greek ingredients and technique to create a beautiful breakfast dish, fit for starting your day off right.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each, skin removed), allow to come to room temperature
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 sprigs fresh oregano, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup mixed greens
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Method

  1. 1Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400°F/200°C); line a tray with paper towels, ready for the fish.
  2. 2Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and oregano; brush the grill grates with olive oil, ensuring they're well greased.
  3. 3Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C); remove and set aside, tenting with foil to keep warm.
  4. 4In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, feta cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper; the mixture should be smooth and creamy.
  5. 5Heat the butter in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat; once melted, add the chopped garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. 6In a separate pan, pour in the egg mixture; cook until the edges start to set, about 30 seconds.
  7. 7Use a spatula to gently fold the omelette in thirds, creating soft, pillowy folds.
  8. 8Slide the omelette onto a plate; top with grilled salmon, a spoonful of mixed greens, and a sprinkle of chopped olives.
  9. 9Drizzle the lemon juice over the top and serve immediately.
