Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 oz Smoked Salmon Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein; any similar fish, like lox or trout, can substitute.
2 large Eggs Packed with protein; consider plant-based alternatives like tofu for a vegan option.
1 medium Avocado Adds creaminess and healthy fats; you can swap with tahini if you’re out.
2 cups Spinach A nutrient powerhouse with iron and vitamins; kale works as a satisfying alternative.
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Juicy and sweet when in season; standard tomatoes will do in a pinch.
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Brightens the dish; vinegar can serve as a substitute if needed.
1 tablespoon Olive Oil Provides healthy fats; any light oil can replace it but avoid strong flavored oils.
to taste Salt & Pepper Enhance flavors; feel free to experiment with your favorite seasonings.

Method

Cooking

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, roughly 2-3 minutes.
In another pan, cook eggs to your liking—scrambled, fried, or poached work beautifully.
Slice avocado and cherry tomatoes, setting them aside for assembly.
In a bowl, layer the tender spinach, eggs, bright smoked salmon, creamy avocado, and succulent cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.

Notes

Common mistakes to avoid: Overcooking the eggs can lead to a rubbery texture; not washing spinach thoroughly can result in grit; forgetting to season can leave the flavors dull. Pro tips: Add capers or dill for flavor, prep spinach and veggies ahead of time for quicker assembly, and use a non-stick skillet to ease cooking and cleanup.
