Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 egg whites
- 1 cup cooked salmon, flaked
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the frittata.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the 8 egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the egg whites until they are frothy and well combined.
- In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil coats the bottom of the skillet evenly.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and sauté them for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
- Once the tomatoes are sautéed, add the flaked cooked salmon and chopped fresh dill to the skillet. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Pour the whisked egg whites over the salmon, dill, and tomatoes in the skillet. Gently stir to distribute the ingredients evenly throughout the egg whites.
- Cook the frittata on the stovetop for about 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set. Do not stir during this time.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to slice.
- Carefully slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Salmon Dill Egg White Frittata as a nutritious meal any time of the day!
Tips
- Use room temperature egg whites for a fluffier texture and more even cooking.
- Ensure your salmon is well-flaked and free of any bones before adding to the skillet.
- Choose a high-quality, non-stick oven-safe skillet to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
- Don't overmix the egg whites when combining ingredients - gentle folding preserves air and creates a lighter frittata.
- Let the frittata rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking to help it set and make slicing cleaner.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese or a dash of lemon zest before baking.
- If you prefer a more golden top, you can briefly broil the frittata for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking.
