Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces salmon filets
- ¼ cup onion
- 1 cup sweet peppers
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add salmon, onions, peppers, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until salmon is cooked through and onions are translucent. Remove mixture from skillet. Set aside.
- Whisk eggs in a small bowl.
- Spray the same skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Pour half of beaten eggs into the heated skillet. As eggs begin to set, loosen the edges, allowing the center to cook also.
- Place half of the salmon mixture on the set eggs and sprinkle half the cheese over top.
- Fold the omelet in half and allow it to sit for one minute.
- Repeat this process to make your second omelet.
- OPTIONAL: Top omelet with additional onions, peppers, and cheese

Notes
- Use a nonstick pan: I prefer to use a nonstick pan for this recipe because even with oil, eggs tend to stick a little bit. This will make folding it easier.
- Ensure the salmon and veggies are cooked: Use a fork to check that the salmon, onions, and peppers are fully cooked and tender before adding them to the omelet.
- Allow the pan time to get hot: Letting the pan get hot enough not only helps prevent sticking, but also adds a beautiful color to your food.
