Method

Whisk eggs¹ with milk², salt, and pepper until smooth.
Slice salmon into strips, rinse spinach, and pat dry.
Heat a skillet with butter⁶ over medium heat.
Pour in the egg mixture, reduce heat, and cook for 3–4 minutes until edges set.
Arrange spinach, salmon, and cream⁵ cheese chunks over half the omelette.
Fold the omelette in half, cover for 1–2 minutes until the center is just set but not runny.
Sprinkle with dill⁹ and serve hot.

Tips

Why it works: Fold the omelette in half right after adding the filling so the salmon and spinach don't sink to the bottom and burn. If you wait, the filling cooks unevenly and loses its juiciness.
Substitutions: Use canned pink salmon (45 g) without oil instead of salmon, or mackerel (50 g) for a richer taste. Use feta-style brynza (20 g) instead of cream cheese, grated so it doesn't clump.
Common mistakes: The omelette turns out dry if you cook it over high heat, the edges brown while the middle stays runny. Check the edges: they should be lightly golden, not brown.
Storing and reheating: Keep in the fridge for no more than 1 day, in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave for 40 seconds under a lid, adding 1 tablespoon of water so it doesn't dry out. Don't freeze, the spinach and salmon turn mushy.
Serve with: Serve with whole grain toast spread with a thin layer of butter. Or with orange juice, the acidity balances the saltiness of the salmon.

In short

Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
