Every Sunday we visit our farmers market, and one of our first stops is to see Marilyn and Eileen, who we have lovingly dubbed “The Fish Ladies”. We are big smoked salmon fans in this house so we always come home with a fresh batch. If you’re lucky enough to visit our fish ladies, Kenya will help you get a sample of smoked salmon and even show you how to drizzle it with fresh lemon juice for maximum flavor. The next task is to pry him away from the fish stand so we can finish our shopping!
The smoked salmon that makes it home will likely end up as a Simple Breakfast Flatbread, Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Bites, or this Smoked Salmon Scramble made with chives from the garden and Davidson’s Safest Choice eggs so I know I’m feeding my family the best foods possible. Salmon is packed with omega 3 fatty acids so it is an excellent, healthy choice for your family.
This recipe comes together quickly so it makes a great protein-rich breakfast on busy school mornings. Or serve it with orange juice, bagels, and fresh fruit for a leisurely weekend brunch the whole family will enjoy.

I just try to limit smoked salmon to once a week, smaller portions, and watch overall sodium intake to balance it all out!
Hello! We are also true lovers of all things salmon- and especially smoked salmon! How do you feel about the sodium content? My twins are almost 1, how often can they eat smoke salmon? Thanks!
