Smoked Salmon Frittata
Mother’s day is right around the corner, and if your family is anything like mine, that means taking the time to honor the (AMAZING) woman who gave you life. For my family this means gathering under one roof, making a ton of food (and noise), and just spending time together. AKA All of the things mama loves.
This year I’m on brunch duty and I’m prepared! The tulips are ordered (pink, yellow, and orange), my apron is pressed (kinda), and my menu is S-E-T. I’ll be making a batch of these strawberry rolls with vanilla glaze, a few pitchers of my tangerine mimosas, this spinach and potato breakfast hash, and lastly but certainly not least, this smoked salmon frittata. Not a bad spread, right?

A few of my favorite things about this easy brunch dish:
1) TASTE. You guys, there is so much flavor packed into this recipe. I’m talking dill, smoked salmon, red onion, fresh tomato, scallions, and a silky swirl of cream cheese. If you love loaded lox bagels, you’ll LOVE this frittata. It’s a smoked salmon lovers dream.
2) Easy breezy assembly and serving. This dish gets whisked together in one bowl, poured into a skillet, baked in the skillet, and served in the skillet. This means very few dirty dishes. AMEN!
3) If, for some reason, you have leftovers – they’re delicious cold (or warm) the next day. In fact I made S one of these frittatas right before I left for this trip so he wouldn’t have to worry about lunch this week (can you say spoiled food blogger boyfriend?).
Alright my friends, grab your eggs and get cracking! xoxo

Smoked Salmon Frittata
Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup red onion (about 1 large red onion), thinly sliced
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, cut into large strips
- 2 Roma tomatoes, cut into thin slices
- 1 tablespoon capers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (F). Carefully crack eggs into a medium-large bowl; whisk eggs until well beaten and frothy; about 2 minutes by hand. Whisk in heavy cream, milk, scallions, dill, black pepper, and salt; mix well to combine; set aside. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it's completely melted add egg mixture to skillet. Quickly layer the red onion, cream cheese, smoked salmon, tomatoes, and capers on top of the eggs. Cook for 4 minutes over medium-heat without stirring or moving the eggs in any way. At this point carefully transfer the skillet to the oven.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and the frittata is set; about 35 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut and serve warm.

I am a VERY new reader of your blog but having made this last night I am now definitely a permanent one! It was INCREDIBLE – I will be making it again, for sure! And what a good way to make smoked salmon go further! Thanks so much 😀

Hi Ellie. I just wanted to let you know how much your sweet comment means to me! Thank you for making this recipe and reporting back 🙂 If you ever have any questions, I’m just a comment away. xo

I make this all the time now. One tip, I melt the butter, pour in the gg mixture, then turn the heat off while I add everything else. I found it’s a lot to add quickly and evenly before the egg really starts to set. Turning off the heat buys you a few extra minutes!

David S says
Just made this for my mom for mothers day (I’ll be gone at work for all of tomorrow so I surprised her this morning) She loved it! I did too. Side note: I substituted the salmon for canadian bacon for tradition purposes. Yum.
bakerbynature says
Hi David! That is so awesome 🙂 And your Canadian bacon sub-in sounds equally delicious. Thank you for taking the time to let me know it was a hit.
Charlotte says
This recipe is a so simple yet delicious and healthy. Will make it for mother’s day. I hope you don’t mind if I copy your mother’s day menu ;). Instead of strawberry rolls I will make lemon cake as that’s what my mom loves. But rest of it stays the same.
bakerbynature says
Hi Charlotte! I don’t mind one bit 😉 I hope you and your family had a wonderful Mother’s Day.

This looks so wonderful! 🙂 I love frittata. I’ll make this next week, and probably the tangerine mimosa as well. I’ve recently discovered mimosas are one of my favourite things.
