Leftover Salmon Frittata

Salmon is one of a few fish my kids eat and like and so when I see it in the supermarket on special I tend to stock the freezer with it and then use it to make a few meals. And we always seem to end up with some cooked and leftover.

While there's quite a few things you can do with left over Salmon like these fish cakes, this leftover Salmon frittata is SO easy to whip up and put in the oven and so yummy, if I've got my planning ahead hat on this this what I'm making, it'll go into lunchboxes the following day, giving the kids a protein heavy keep you going for ages kinda lunch. Plus it gets eaten. Always a bonus!

The Salmon flavor steals the show here, it's a very basic frittata, I don't even put so much as an onion is this recipe, it's an egg mixture, with a little lemon and a cup of frozen peas. Sometimes the simple things are the best!

Additions & Substitutions

The Frittata base is a simple egg mixture and so you can easily make some additions or substitutions. You could try:

• Adding a handful of wilted Spinach instead of the peas
• Add a tablespoon of Dill, it goes really well with Salmon
• Grate half a cup of raw Zucchini and add that in instead of the peas
• If your kids like tomatoes, add in a cup of raw, small diced fresh tomatoes
• Leftover sausages? Substitute the salmon for cut up sausages for a sausage version! (Leave out the Lemon if you do this!)
• Smoked salmon can also be used to make this is you have some that needs using up

What To Eat With This Frittata

For the most part this Frittata is lunch, usually served either in lunchboxes wrapped in parchment paper or with a salad.

You could have a slice for breakfast, it's egg based so heavy on the protein and will keep the little ones going for hours, or if you fancy it for dinner you could add a vegetable side with some potatoes and turn it into a more substantial dinner.

How Long Does A Salmon Frittata Last?

Since this is made with leftover Salmon, I only keep this for a maximum of 2 days in the fridge, or if the Salmon has already been in the fridge for 2 days then I make this and we eat it that day.

I usually keep this on a plate, covered with food wrap and already cut up and then it's easy to grab a piece as and when you want it.

How To Make Leftover Salmon Frittata

Ingredients

• 6 Eggs
• 1 Cup Salmon Leftovers, broken into pieces
• 1 Cup Frozen peas
• 1 Large Lemon Squeezed
• 1 tsp Olive oil To grease the baking tin
• Salt & Pepper To Season

Instructions

• Heat your oven to either 210c or 410 f depending on your oven
• Line a round 6-8 inch round baking tin with parchment paper. I use one piece and push it into the middle, smooth out the creases round the outside and it's then easy to take out of the tin when it's cooked
• Grease the paper with the olive oil (I use a pastry brush)
• In a large bowl whisk your eggs and season with salt and pepper
• Add the juice from the lemon and stir through
• Add in the flaked Salmon and frozen peas and combine everything well
• Pour the egg mixture into the greased baking pan and bake for 25 minutes until the Frittata is firm, then remove from the oven and cool down on a rack, leaving it in the parchment paper
• Serve!
