What is paleo food

Creamy smoked salmon is a silky, walnut-studded omelet drizzled with a fresh spinach-lemon cream sauce. Smoked salmon and eggs cook in minutes in the Instant Pot, while a quick-blended sauce of almond milk, walnuts, and spinach turns rich and velvety under pressure. Fifteen minutes start to finish.

Creamy Smoked Salmon

(Total Time: 15 MIN| Serves: 2)

Ingredients:
2 oz (56.7 g) smoked salmon, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp (5 ml) olive oil
¼ tsp dried thyme

For the creamy sauce:
½ cup almond milk, unsweetened
¼ cup walnuts, chopped
½ cup spinach, chopped
1 tsp (5 ml) sea salt
½ tsp black pepper, ground
1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Directions:

1. Combine almond milk, walnuts, and spinach in food processor. Blend until well combined and add salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Blend again for 1 minute and set aside.
2. Plug in your instant pot and grease the stainless steel insert with some olive oil. Add salmon pieces and eggs. Sprinkle with thyme and cook for 3 minutes. Using a large spatula, remove the omelet from the pot. Set aside covered.
3. Now, add the previously blended sauce mixture to the pot. Close the lid and adjust the steam release handle. Press the “Manual” button and set the timer for 3 minutes. When done, perform a quick release of the pressure and open the pot.
4. Transfer the omelet to a serving plate and drizzle with hot sauce.
5. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips

• Blend the sauce a full minute until smooth — the walnuts need the time to break down and thicken the almond milk into a proper cream.
• Add the smoked salmon and eggs together and cook just 3 minutes; the salmon only needs to warm through and stays silky.
• Keep the omelet covered while the sauce cooks so it stays warm and moist.
• The lemon juice in the sauce is the counterpoint to the rich smoked salmon — squeeze it fresh for the brightest flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh salmon?

Smoked salmon is the point here — its cured, salty flavor defines the dish. Fresh salmon would need proper cooking and a different approach.

Is this dish keto?

Yes — 3.3g net carbs and 16.9g protein per serving, with walnuts and olive oil supplying the fats.

What is the sauce made of?

Almond milk, walnuts, spinach, and lemon juice, blended smooth — creamy and dairy-free without any actual cream.

How do I serve it?

Drizzle the hot sauce over the omelet and serve immediately, with the remaining sauce spooned alongside.
