…and no, it’s not oatmeal!

Salmon Omelet

Last night, I prepared a delicious and heart healthy omelet for dinner.  The best part – I had all the ingredients already!

Ingredients:

• Salmon, finely chopped
• Onions, finely chopped
• Bell Peppers, finely chopped
• Organic extra-virgin olive oil
• Your choice of spices
• Fresh fruit (optional)

Directions:

1.      I used a leftover piece of grilled wild-caught salmon.

2.      I sautéed the salmon, onions and peppers at a low temperature in organic extra-virgin olive oil with spices and pepper for flavor.

3.      Add one organic free-range omega 3 egg and 1/3 –1/2 cup egg whites.

4.      Serve with fresh fruit and tomatoes. I served the omelet with local Johns Island tomatoes, kiwi and strawberries.

This breakfast is high in omega 3 fatty acids from three different sources and is high in antioxidants. All are vitally important in reducing risk for cardiovascular disease.

I surprised myself with this one. It was delicious!

Enjoy!
