Seafood for Breakfast? Yes! 3 High-Protein Morning Meals
Think seafood is just for lunch and dinner? Think again. Seafood is one of the best sources of clean, lean protein — and it’s surprisingly versatile in the morning. Whether you’re powering through a busy workday or starting with a slow weekend breakfast, adding seafood to your first meal of the day can help you stay full, energized, and focused.
In this post, we’re sharing three easy, protein-packed seafood breakfast recipes using premium ingredients from Seafood Factory.
Why Start Your Day with Seafood?
- High in protein: Keeps you full longer and stabilizes energy.
- Rich in omega-3s: Supports brain function and mood.
- Quick to cook: Great for busy mornings.
- Pairs well with eggs, toast, and greens: Simple ingredients, big flavor.
1. Smoked Salmon & Avocado Toast
Top toasted sourdough or rye bread with smashed avocado, a squeeze of lemon, and slices of Norwegian smoked salmon. Sprinkle with black pepper and chili flakes. Add a poached egg if you want more protein — or enjoy as-is for a light yet filling breakfast.
2. Shrimp & Spinach Scramble
Sauté a handful of medium shrimp in olive oil until pink. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Pour in whisked eggs and scramble until fluffy. Top with feta or fresh herbs.
Tip: Use pre-cooked shrimp to save time — just thaw, warm, and toss into your eggs.
3. Salmon Breakfast Bowl
Build a nourishing bowl with leftover grilled salmon, steamed quinoa, a soft-boiled egg, greens, and pickled onions. Drizzle with lemon tahini or olive oil. It’s satisfying, fresh, and loaded with nutrients.
Breakfast-Friendly Tips
- Keep ready-to-cook seafood in your freezer for fast morning prep.
- Pair seafood with eggs, avocado, or whole grains for balance.
- Try local flavors: tahini, herbs, baladi bread, or labneh all pair well with seafood.
