Smoked Salmon Scramble – paleo breakfasting

Jan 2015 brunch web (1 of 1)

Despite having been fairly conscientious throughout the holidays I have had autoimmunity rear its head this winter.  Really dedicating myself to the diet protocol has brought significant relief and also some comments from the bagger at the grocery store who remarked that we buy a LOT of vegetables.  Guilty as charged.  

When people learn you are grain and dairy free the first question is usually what about breakfast?  There are several different ways to approach this.  One of the best I've heard is to stop categorizing the meals by food type.  Rather you have meal 1, meal 2, meal 3 and they can be whatever you dream them up to be.  Stir fry for breakfast?  Why not?  

Some people make paleo copycat dishes – muffins or pancakes.  This meal probably falls somewhere between and was super easy.   The spinach is steamed while the eggs scramble.  Then layered with a bit of smoked salmon.  Drizzle lemon over the whole, which I was NOT thinking would be as awesome as it was since I don't generally love fish.  Fatty cold water fish, however, has lots of redeeming qualities.  It's an acquired taste I am acquiring.

Other days I am juicing.  This one was cucumbers, celery, pineapple, romaine, mint.  I am saving juice and smoothie ideas over here if you want to play along.   Paleo pins over here.

  1. I used to think I needed a belly full of grains to be content at breakfast, and since I don’t seem to have grain issues, that’s what I ate. But trying to get away from so much grain I have started cooking more veggies for breakfast. It must be hot, and definitely cooked (though I don’t think there is such a thing as raw and hot). My latest favorite is a pan roasted sweet potato (sliced thin) tossed with a couple steamed, halved Brussel sprouts. Add a fried egg to the pan when veggies are almost done. Delicious!
    I actually have never eaten smoked salmon, but I like salmon…
