Ingredients for Salmon and Asparagus Frittata

  • 350g red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 6 whole eggs, lightly beaten

  • 3 egg whites, lightly beaten

  • 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/8 teaspoons black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • 240ml chopped onion

  • 80g chopped red pepper

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 230g asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3/4-inch pieces

  • 350g salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into bite-size pieces

Bring lightly salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Boil potatoes until just tender, about 7 minutes; drain. Heat grill to low. Combine eggs, egg whites, salt and pepper in a bowl. Heat oil in a 12" ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion, pepper and oregano, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are somewhat soft, about 3 minutes. Add asparagus and potatoes; cook 3 minutes. Add salmon and cook until opaque, 3 minutes. Pour egg mixture into skillet; reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until egg begins to set but is still wet on top, 5 minutes. Cook, without stirring, 5 minutes. Transfer skillet to grill; grill until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from grill and slice into 4 wedges; serve.
