Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/4 onion
18g
3.33 cups spinach
100g
1 tbsp cream cheese
10g
2 oz smoked salmon
54g
1 tbsp dill
0.55g
5 egg whites
200g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the 1/4 onion.
- Chop the smoked salmon into small pieces.
- Roughly chop the fresh spinach if the leaves are large.
- Chop the fresh dill.
2. Sauté the Onions and Spinach:
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and continue to sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove the spinach and onions from the pan and set aside.
3. Prepare the Egg Whites Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, whisk the 5 egg whites until they are frothy.
4. Cook the Omelet:
- Lightly re-coat the skillet with a bit of additional olive oil if needed.
- Pour the egg whites into the skillet and cook over medium heat.
- As the egg whites start to set, gently lift the edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked egg whites to flow underneath. Continue until the egg whites are mostly set but still slightly runny on the top.
5. Add Fillings:
- Spread 1 tbsp of cream cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Evenly distribute the sautéed spinach and onions over the cream cheese.
- Sprinkle the smoked salmon pieces and chopped dill over the spinach.
6. Fold and Finish:
- Carefully fold the omelet in half to cover the fillings.
- Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the omelet is fully set and heated through.
7. Serve:
- Gently slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Garnish with some extra dill or slices of smoked salmon if desired.

Tips:

- For a creamier texture, you can mix a tablespoon of milk or water into the egg whites before cooking.

- If you prefer whole eggs, feel free to use 3 whole eggs instead of the egg whites only.

- Warm the smoked salmon slightly before adding it to the omelet for a more integrated flavor.

- If you're not a fan of dill, you can substitute it with fresh chives or parsley for a different but equally delicious taste.

- Make sure to sauté the spinach just until wilted to retain its bright green color and nutrients.
