Instructions
Prep the Ingredients
Dice the red onion finely and drain the capers. Flake the smoked salmon into small bite-sized pieces and set aside. Crack and separate the eggs ensuring no yolk gets into the whites for the cleanest protein content.
Saute the Onion
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and cook stirring occasionally until softened and slightly translucent. Season lightly with black pepper.
Cook the Egg Whites
Pour the egg whites into the skillet with the softened onion. Let them set slightly on the bottom, then gently fold and stir with a spatula creating large soft curds. Do not overcook as this makes them rubbery.
Add Salmon and Serve
When the egg whites are just set but still slightly glossy, fold in the flaked smoked salmon and capers. Remove from heat immediately and divide between two plates. Top with fresh chives and serve right away.
