Salmon and Egg Scramble
When it comes to sweet vs. savory, I tend to always lean towards savory. I have never had a sweet tooth, so a breakfast like my Salmon and Egg Scramble always hits the spot. At a glance, you might think it is odd to have salmon and potatoes for breakfast, but when you think about it, it in reality is just smoked salmon and hash browns, but better!
When it comes to a satisfying and nourishing breakfast, nothing beats the trio that is salmon, eggs, and potatoes. This recipe brings together fluffy, veggie-filled scrambled eggs, tender pan-seared salmon, and nutty Japanese sweet potatoes. What I love about this meal is it keeps me full and satiated to lunch and gives me plenty of energy without having a mid-morning crash. Combining satisfying, fluffy potatoes and savory salmon and eggs creates a delicious, effortless taste. On top of this, it is also a breakfast full of versatility. You can prepare it as a weekend treat or a quick weekday breakfast with a bit of meal prep. Whether you want a casual, sit-down breakfast, or need something to power you through a busy day, this Salmon and Egg Scramble is a reliable, delicious option.

Season your salmon with salt and pepper. In a pan over medium-high heat, add your remaining tbsp of olive oil. Add the salmon skin side down and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Flip, and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145F.
In a separate pan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp butter. Add your bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms, and saute until soft. add your spinach and cook down. Add your eggs to the pan and slightly reduce the temperature, slowly scrambling the mixture until soft and fluffy.
