Ingredients and Variations
Eggs – Use fresh large eggs for maximum fluffiness! For a bit of extra protein, add two egg whites, if desired.
Meat – Besides salmon, diced ham, bacon bits, or chopped breakfast links are also good choices.
Vegetables – In addition to potatoes, frittatas can contain complementary veggies like sliced mushrooms, peas, broccoli, sundried tomatoes, carrots, artichokes, spinach, or bell peppers. Use leftover roast asparagus from the night before. Anything goes!
Cheese – Goat cheese melts beautifully into this salmon asparagus frittata. Shredded mozzarella, Monterey Jack, parmesan cheese, or crumbled feta will work well, too.
How to Make Salmon Asparagus Frittata

- Remove the skillet from heat and add salmon, asparagus, and green onion.
- Whisk eggs with cream, dill, salt, and pepper, and pour over the potato mixture.
- Top with goat cheese and bake until eggs are set.
- Place frittata under the broiler for 1-2 minutes and allow it to set before cutting.
- Serve with sour cream or homemade salsa, if desired.
How to Serve and Store a Frittata
- Serve salmon asparagus frittata with a side of fresh fruit kabobs with strawberry fruit dip or a colorful cherry tomato salad, and a pitcher of refreshing cucumber water. Or for a party why not serve it with a cranberry mimosa or watermelon sangria.
- Keep leftover frittata in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and serve cold or reheat in 30-second intervals in the microwave. It’s not advised to freeze frittatas due to the egg mixture that won’t thaw properly, but this recipe is so easy to make, simply start fresh
