How to Make Smoked Fish Omelet

  1. Place 150g smoked cod fillets in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring slowly to a boil. Reduce heat and poach gently for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through.
  2. Carefully remove the cod from the water and let it cool completely.
  3. Once cool, remove the skin and bones and flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add the flaked cod and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in 3 tablespoons of cream and set aside.
  6. In a separate bowl, separate 4 large eggs. Beat the yolks with 1 tablespoon of cream, salt, and pepper to taste.
  7. In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture, along with the cooked cod and 50g of grated cheese.
  9. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once melted and foaming, pour in the egg mixture.
  10. Stir once or twice, then reduce the heat to low and let cook for about 1 minute to set the bottom.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 50g of grated cheese evenly over the omelet and drizzle with a tablespoon of cream.
  12. Place the pan under a preheated broiler or in a hot oven (375°F/190°C) for 2-3 minutes, or until the omelet is puffed and lightly browned.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
