Got leftover salmon? Make this protein-packed dill salmon and eggs scramble that’s made with just a few ingredients and delicious seasonal flavors!
This recipe is the epitome of the perfect brinner (breakfast for dinner!). When I think brinner, I think savory breakfast. There’s no better savory breakfast than using your leftover salmon from the night before to make a yummy dill salmon and eggs scramble.
What To Do With Leftover Salmon?
‘Member that one time we made those delicious salmon patties? We had a ton of leftover salmon and made this dish for brinner the next day.
I know some of you are on team savory breakfast, so eating this after a workout in the morning would also be PERFECT with the crazy amount of protein involved.
Let’s check out the ingredients needed to get started!
- large eggs
- fresh dill
- leftover salmon
- minced garlic
- olive oil
- sea salt
- pepper
First up: fresh farm eggs. They are a must. How gorgeous are these yolks? I really believe that free-range, farm fresh eggs are the best and they for sure taste the best!
Next, fresh dill. This is the one herb where I truly believe that you can’t over do it. There’s no such thing as “it’s too dilly.”
Can You Use Dry Dill?
You can totally use dry dill for this recipe, however, there really isn’t anything like fresh dill, and I promise it will taste better.
Then there’s the salmon. We love salmon of all kinds — grilled, baked, broiled, sous vide, and pan seared. The beauty of this recipe is that any kind of leftover salmon will work!
Can You Use Canned Salmon?
Absolutely! If you don’t have leftover salmon on hand, canned salmon will totally work for this recipe! If that is your cup of tea, we recommend using canned salmon in water with no extra additives so the flavors of this recipe can truly shine.
Greek Yogurt Dill Dressing
You HAVE to make the Greek yogurt topping to go with this yummy salmon breakfast. It’s too good not to! It’s very similar to the Greek yogurt dill dressing that I made for this salmon salad I was talking about earlier. So flipping good! #eatallthedill
So when I make this next, I’m totally going to put it between a whole wheat bagel. HOW GOOD DOES THAT SOUND?!
