SMOKED SALMON FRITTATA
SMOKED SALMON FRITTATA
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp salted butter
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cups cubed peeled potatoes (1/2 inch)
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1 tbsp drained capers, rinsed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 cup chopped skinned hot-smoked salmon (about 200 g)
- Yogurt Dill Sauce
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Melt butter in a large ovenproof non-stick frypan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add potatoes and cook, stirring, until potatoes are tender and lightly browned, about 10 – 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place eggs and cottage cheese in a blender; purée until smooth. Add cream, green onions, dill, capers, salt, pepper and paprika; blend, using an on/off motion, until green onions, dill and capers are finely chopped.
- Sprinkle salmon on top of potato mixture in frypan. Pour egg mixture over top. Reduce heat to low and cook, lifting edges of frittata occasionally with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg mixture to run underneath. Cook until frittata is almost set in centre. Transfer frypan to oven.
- Bake, uncovered, until frittata is set and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Cut into wedges. Serve with Yogurt Dill Sauce.

Tip:
Check salmon carefully for any small pieces of bone; remove and discard. Hot-smoked salmon is sold refrigerated in the fish section of grocery stores. It is different from shelf-stable pouch-packed smoked salmon, which is packaged in foil pouches and often sold in wooden gift boxes. Shelf-stable pouch-packed smoked salmon must be refrigerated after opening. If desired, it can be substituted for the hot-smoked salmon in this recipe.
