Frequently asked questions

How long does Golden Herb Omelette with Smoked Salmon take?
About 20 minutes: 10 minutes of prep to whisk the eggs and chop the herbs, and 10 minutes of cooking the omelette and plating it up.
Is Golden Herb Omelette with Smoked Salmon vegetarian?
No, it is not vegetarian. The herb omelette is served with flaky hot-smoked salmon and a side of lemony cucumber.
How do I keep the omelette soft and golden?
Cook it over medium heat, lifting the edges so uncooked egg flows underneath, and fold it once the top is nearly set. A final minute in the pan finishes it without browning it hard.
Can I use cold-smoked salmon instead?
Yes, cold-smoked salmon slices work well and give a silkier texture. Lay them alongside the omelette rather than heating them.
Which herbs work best in the omelette?
Parsley and chives are used here, and dill or tarragon also pair beautifully with eggs and salmon. Chop them finely and stir them into the eggs.
