Smoked salmon omelette

This meal can of course be made with shop-bought hot-smoked salmon, but it's even nicer if you have your own smoker; just smoke normal salmon fillets for about an hour. I then leave them in the cold smoker for about an hour once the briquettes have burnt and it's then perfectly cooked.

• Freshly ground black pepper.
• 2 tablespoons of soured cream (optional)

5. Once the omelette begins to solidify, spoon the salmon flakes into the centre

Serving suggestions

Fold the omelette on itself, cut into two pieces and serve immediately, garnished with the chopped chives.

Variations

I used some chopped left over spring onions because my home grown chives have finished for this year.

If you've got flowers on your home grown chives, pull the little flowers out from the flower head and sprinkle those with the chives, they have a fantastic flavour and also look great.

Chef's Notes

If you're cautious about bones in your salmon, pick out any pin-bones with tweezers.
