Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 500g new potatoes
- 1 small head broccoli, cut into florets
- small handful mint, finely chopped
Protein
- 2 skinless salmon fillets
- 8 eggs, beaten
Other
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Boil potatoes and broccoli: Place the new potatoes in a large pan of boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes. Add the broccoli florets during the last 4 minutes of cooking until both potatoes and broccoli are tender. Drain well.
- Microwave salmon: While the vegetables cook, place the salmon fillets in a microwaveable dish with a splash of water. Cover with cling film and microwave on high for 2½ minutes until the salmon flakes easily.
- Prepare and cook potatoes: Heat the grill. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a deep frying pan over high heat. Slice the boiled potatoes into chunky pieces and quickly fry them in the pan until they turn golden on the edges.
- Combine ingredients: Flake the cooked salmon into large chunks and tuck them among the potatoes along with the steamed broccoli florets in the pan.
- Add eggs and seasoning: Stir the chopped mint and a pinch of salt and pepper into the beaten eggs. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the frying pan.
- Cook frittata on stovetop: Reduce heat to low and cook the frittata for about 6 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly wobbly.
- Finish under the grill: Transfer the pan under the preheated grill and cook for a few minutes until the frittata is completely set and the top is golden brown.
- Serve: Cut the frittata into wedges and serve warm with a big green salad on the side for a balanced meal.
