    Preparation Process:

    1. Prep the Salmon: Season the salmon pieces with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the salmon until it’s just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
    2. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, herbs, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    3. Cook the Scramble: Heat the same skillet over medium heat with a little more olive oil. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly creamy.
    4. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked salmon to the egg mixture and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute or two, until the salmon is warmed through. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as toast, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad.

    Total Time: 20-25 minutes

    Serving Ideas:

    Mediterranean Style: Serve with a side of tzatziki sauce and a sprinkle of feta cheese.

  • Asian Fusion: Top with a drizzle of soy sauce, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a dollop of sriracha.
  • Classic Comfort: Serve with a side of crispy bacon and a slice of toasted sourdough bread.
