The Perfect Salmon Frittata

Frittata, which translates to "fried" in Italian, is an egg-based classic brunch dish which is equally delicious at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Frittatas are cooked in a cast iron pan or oven-safe skillet because they are started on the stove top and then finished in the oven. Unlike omelets, frittata fillings are mixed in with the eggs in the pan rather than folded in the center.

To make a frittata, well-beaten eggs are cooked on the stove in a hot skillet, along with the fillings, for a few minutes until the outer edges are set. The pan is then transferred to the oven where the eggs finish cooking.


While omelets are typically made to serve just one, frittatas can serve one or many, and can also be eaten hot or at room temperature. Large frittatas are cut in slices and served.
