Vegetable and Salmon Frittata


Our local supermarket provides a good variety of both fresh and frozen vegetables, and for ease of speed I always keep some frozen vegetables in the freezer - so handy for this lovely frittata recipe which is packed full of vegetables. A vibrant and healthy frittata which makes a good meal or light lunch. The addition of salmon provides omega-3 fatty acids, while eggs are rich in B vitamins.

Ingredients
Serves Six
350g frozen Mediterranean chargrilled vegetables 
260g boneless salmon fillets
8 medium eggs
100ml milk 
1 tbsp olive oil
Method
1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Arrange the vegetables in a single layer in a roasting tin and roast for 15 mins. Place the salmon on top of the veg, skin side up, and roast for another 10 mins. Set aside for 5-10 mins or until cool enough to handle.
2. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Whisk the eggs and milk in a large jug; season. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan over a low heat, then add the egg mixture. Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and scatter evenly into the pan, along with the roasted veg. Cook, without stirring, for 8 mins.
3. Put the pan under the grill for 6-8 mins until cooked through and the centre is firm. Use a knife to pierce the centre: if it is still liquid, grill for another 2-3 mins, then check again. Leave to cool for 5 mins before serving.
Why not serve with some lovely green salad leaves!
