Hot smoked salmon is one of those handy items to have on hand in the fridge. I use it often with a salad for lunch, have been known to toss it through soup and often, like with this recipe, have it as part of an omelette for breakfast. Whilst I have bought divine freshly hot smoked salmon at the farmer’s markets, I usually just buy the peppered ones available in the supermarkets.
This recipe, like many of my recipes are a bit of an ‘invention test’ (yes, I’m watching Masterchef at the moment), using up the ingredients I find in my fridge. I was looking for bacon and eggs but alas no bacon, a crime I know. Fortunately I did have the hot smoked salmon and actually this forced a little more creativity and a very tasty breakfast.
