Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Salmon

  • 2 fillets of wild-caught salmon

Eggs

  • 4 organic or farm-fresh eggs

Olive Oil

  • 12 tablespoons for cooking

Fresh Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill or chives

Lemon Juice

  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients and ensuring your salmon is filleted and deboned. Chop your herbs finely and set them aside, along with any other vegetables you plan to include.
  2. Cook the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until it is cooked to your liking.
  3. Cook the Eggs: In a separate pan, prepare your eggs to your preference: scramble, poach, or fry them in a little olive oil or butter until just set.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Once both the salmon and eggs are cooked, place the salmon on a plate and top it with the cooked eggs. Drizzle with some lemon juice and sprinkle the fresh herbs over the top.
