Got leftover salmon? Make this protein-packed Dill Salmon Eggs Scramble that’s made with just a few ingredients and delicious seasonal flavors!
This recipe is the epitome of the perfect brinner (breakfast for dinner!). When I think brinner, I think savory breakfast. There’s no better savory breakfast than using your leftover salmon from the night before to make a yummy dill salmon and eggs scramble.
I mean, what is better than salmon, eggs, and dill?!
What To Do With Leftover Salmon?
‘Member that one time we made those delicious salmon patties? We had a ton of leftover salmon and made this dish for brinner the next day.
I know some of you are on team savory breakfast, so eating this after a workout in the morning would also be PERFECT with the crazy amount of protein involved.
Let’s check out the ingredients needed to get started!
What you Need
- large eggs
- fresh dill
- leftover salmon
- minced garlic
- olive oil
- sea salt
- pepper
First up: fresh farm eggs. They are a must. How gorgeous are these yolks? I really believe that free-range, farm fresh eggs are the best and they for sure taste the best!
Next, fresh dill. This is the one herb where I truly believe that you can’t over do it. There’s no such thing as “it’s too dilly.”
Can You Use Dry Dill?
You can totally use dry dill for this recipe, however, there really isn’t anything like fresh dill, and I promise it will taste better.
Then there’s the salmon. We love salmon of all kinds — grilled, baked, broiled, sous vide, and pan seared. The beauty of this recipe is that any kind of leftover salmon will work!
Can You Use Canned Salmon?
Absolutely! If you don’t have leftover salmon on hand, canned salmon will totally work for this recipe! If that is your cup of tea, we recommend using canned salmon in water with no extra additives so the flavors of this recipe can truly shine.
Greek Yogurt Dill Dressing
You HAVE to make the Greek yogurt topping to go with this yummy salmon breakfast. It’s too good not to! It’s very similar to the Greek yogurt dill dressing that I made for this salmon salad I was talking about earlier. So flipping good! #eatallthedill
So when I make this next, I’m totally going to put it between a whole wheat bagel. HOW GOOD DOES THAT SOUND?!

I made a tripe batch this morning. I bought vanilla yogurt by accident and substituted cottage cheese. Very good!! I love eggs and fish!
Love eggs with cottage cheese! Great substitution 🙂
Made this for breakfast this morning with hubby. Even with a Norwegian background and the fish we just felt it was okay. I seem to prefer scrambled eggs with cheese more. Love to try different recipes though.
This came out so good! I didn’t have fresh dill on hand so I used a little less herbs and it was still delicious. I love having salmon for breakfast and can’t wait to make this again. Thank you for the tasty, easy recipe!
Glad you loved this!
Absolutely wonderful! Made this for the second time yesterday morning on my Blackstone griddle using the leftovers from your Lemon Butter Seared Salmon which I had also done on the griddle the night before. I now deliberately do more salmon than I know we will eat so that we will have the leftovers for this! If you haven’t tried these on a flat top griddle, you should! Goes so quickly you won’t believe it and what’s better than brunch on the deck?
I need to get a griddle! Will check out Blackstone 😀
This was really delicious! I’ll definitely make it again!
Love! Was looking for something to do with leftover sea bass. It subbed perfectly into this. Will keep on hand for other leftover fish for sure.
I guess this is like a double review! Friday night I made your Lemon Butter Pan Seared Salmon and this morning I used the leftover salmon to make this scramble! Both were fantastic! Instead of cooking inside in a skillet, I prepared both dishes on my Blackstone flat top griddle on the deck and it translated perfectly and if anything cooked even quicker. We use a lot of fresh herbs but had never really grown Dill for some reason. We bought a plant specifically for these recipes and it will be joining the rest of the herbs in our garden for future use! When I grill tuna or salmon I always grill extra because we like to use the leftovers on salads, make tuna or salmon salad etc… I will soon be smoking a side of salmon as well and will be trying your Smoked Salmon Breakfast Frittata. So happy I discovered your site!
YAY! Glad you loved both <3
This is perfect for the seafood lover. Had a lot of salmon and was thinking of making omelettes, found this recipe instead. Love the dill and garlic flavors. And the yogurt topping makes it even more tasty. Thanks for sharing!
