Frittata with salmon is an elegant dish of Italian cuisine that combines the tenderness of baked eggs with the richness of fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs. Originally, frittata served as a way to use leftover ingredients, transforming them into a delightful treat. Here, juicy salmon accented by dill and thyme harmonizes with crispy asparagus, sweet carrots, and tender peas. Lightly sautéing onions with garlic adds a pleasant caramel depth to the dish, while the final bake under the grill creates an appetizing golden crust. Frittata is perfect for both breakfast and dinner, served as a standalone dish or with a light salad. This Italian delicacy offers gastronomic pleasure in every bite, filling the meal with warmth and sophistication.
