This easy salmon breakfast recipe is a quintessential Jewish-American dish with Ashkenazi origins. Matzo brei (pronounced maht-zah bry) is made by soaking or scrambling the cracker-like pieces of matzo bread in an egg mixture, then frying it all up in a skillet into a scrambled hash that can be savory or sweet.
Our version of matzo brei embraces the savory Ashkenzai palate by adding a handful of cold smoked sockeye to the mix for an extra special hit of briny flavor, the perfect balance to sweet, caramelized onions. It’s a comforting way to enjoy salmon for breakfast, whether it’s your first time making matzo brei or a go-to dish in your household.
