You have to try this fresh salmon frittata recipe!
Frittata is an Italian dish that many people prefer to eat for breakfast. The egg base of the recipe does certainly make it reminiscent of breakfast foods. However, you can certainly enjoy it for lunch or dinner by adding a few sides to the meal. Fritattas are actually very versatile! You can add almost anything to the pan and make it your own exciting recipe. Make it more breakfast with some bacon or more like a full meal by adding fresh salmon, like we did in our keto salmon frittata recipe.
If you've never enjoyed a delicious frittata before, it's essentially like a quiche that's enriched with a few additional ingredients that make a heartier option. There is also no carb-loaded crust that most quiches have. That makes the frittata much more low carb compliant when compared to most quiches. The ingredients we use in our recipe are all also keto so that you can enjoy every slice without worrying about carb count- we have you covered! This fresh salmon frittata recipe is just one way you can enjoy frittatas. Once you try them once, you'll be hooked!
Fresh salmon is what really makes this meal something special. Of course, salmon has a distinct flavor that must be seasoned properly in order to get the most of it. Dill, onion, capers, and chives with a dash of salt and pepper are the perfect seasonings for this fish-infused egg dish. In less than on hour, you will be indulging in this frittata recipe that is fit for a king!
If you can't find fresh salmon in your grocery store or local fish market, check the freezer section. Salmon freezes very well and you should be able to find some frozen fillets. To use the frozen salmon in place of the fresh salmon in this recipe, just thaw the filets as directed on the package. Once thawed, the frozen filets will work just like the fresh fish! Frozen filets of salmon are great to have on hand and will enable you to make this recipe anytime you'd like!
You can certainly enjoy this meal any time of day, but it is the perfect solution for your next brunch. It's richer than serving up only eggs, but a bit more satisfying than a quiche. Your guests won't be able to resist it! It is also the perfect combination of breakfast and lunch! No one will ever guess that such a great dish is part of a healthy, balanced keto diet. You may even convert some people over to the low carb lifestyle with this recipe.
Keeping it keto-friendly doesn't mean boring or bland. Just as this recipe proves, you can have plenty of flavor without cheating on your diet. In fact, we encourage eating this recipe often when you are trying to stick to a keto diet! It is perfectly balanced to meet your dietary goals. Enjoy it for yourself or serve it up to your guests. Either way, this fresh salmon frittata recipe is sure to become an instant favorite!
