Cooking Tips

  • Use Wild-Caught Salmon: For better omega-3 content and lower toxin exposure.
  • Fresh vs. Canned Salmon: Both work, but drain and flake canned salmon well; choose low-sodium versions if available.
  • Egg Scramble Texture: Stir slowly and gently to retain fluffiness and prevent overcooking.
  • Customize Sauce: Add a touch of garlic or capers for added zing, or replace yogurt with dairy-free versions for lactose intolerance.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Make the dill yogurt sauce in advance—it stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Serving Suggestion: Pair with a side salad or sautéed greens for a fiber-rich meal.
