Sarah’s Notes
Egg recipes offer so many possibilities – different meal styles, different occasions, different flavours and textures.
I wanted to create a frittata recipe that is a complete meal, is protein-packed so is really filling and hearty, and it also has the bonus of being very quick, healthy and delicious.
I also wanted to make sure we have plenty of options for what to do with salmon when it’s ready to go but we’re not totally sure what to do with it!
Salmon Frittata ingredients
- Broccoli – I use tender stem for this recipe but normal broccoli is OK if you’d prefer
- Frozen peas – I find petit pois preferable, but again, your choice
- Smoked salmon – This is really affordable and lasts a good amount of time in the fridge, not to mention delicious. However, if you don’t like it, you can use fresh salmon
- Eggs – I use free range medium eggs, so bear this in mind for quantities in the recipe
Substitutions
- Fresh salmon – If you prefer, you could swap out the smoked salmon for fresh. Instead, just steam the fish, remove the skin and flake over the broccoli and pea mixture before adding the eggs
- Vegetables – This is a really versatile recipe and you can mix and match whichever veggies are your favourites or that you have in the fridge

How to make a Frittata
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the broccoli. Fry for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the peas and fry for a further 3 or 4 minutes until warmed through.
- Add the strips of salmon, the beaten egg and salt and pepper. Cook through until the base is just set.
- Pop under a hot grill to finish off.
Leftovers
In the fridge You can keep this recipe in the fridge for 3 days. It’s perfect to eat cold for a packed lunch or leftovers. Allow to cool, slice, wrap up and refrigerate.
Frittata Recipe Tips
Spread the vegetables evenly
Make sure every bite is filled with flavour by making sure everything is evenly spaced in the pan before the eggs start to set.
Salmon
If you’re cooking this with fresh salmon, make sure you don’t overcook it beforehand. Just until it’s turned a solid pale pink throughout is ideal.

FAQs
It depends on what kind of meal you’re making this as. It’s fine on its own or with some crusty bread for breakfast, perfect with salad for lunch, and great with new potatoes for dinner.
Read my one-pan pan review here to get an idea. You’ll need one that can safely go on the hob as well as under the grill for a frittata.
With a frittata, the ingredients are mixed together and cooked slowly and evenly on the stove top in a pan until set, then usually finished off under the grill or in the oven.
An omelette is also cooked on a stove but folded over, with the centre not quite as firmly set. There’s also a crustless quiche, which is cooked in the oven instead.
Yes, all of the ingredients in this recipe are gluten free.

Easy to make ,lovely to eat. Win win
LOVED this! Make it for lunch with a girlfriend and served it with spinach, dill, snap pea and red bell pepper salad with balsamic vinaigrette. Toast with basil pesto on the side (there’s an insane amount of basil in the garden).
Posted it is on my (Color My Food Facebook page), just had to share 🙂
I will be making it again and again. Thanks for the delicious recipe.
I’m so pleased you liked it, it’s one of my favourites! Thanks so much for the comment 🙂
Can this be baked ?
Yes, darling, it can.
I changed the recipe in that I used cauliflower (375 grams instead of the combined broccoli and peas) and used 200 grams of baked salmon. I put in dill as well. I baked it in a shallow dish for about 25 minutes at 350F.
Merry Christmas.
Looks delish and very healthy, adding to my regular recipes as greàt for breaky, lunch or dinner!! Easy peasy!
This recipe has been a life saver- thanks so much! Xx
