Paleo Whole30 Garlic Chive Salmon Avocado Breakfast Plate
Mornings get a serious upgrade when crispy-skinned salmon, soft scrambled eggs, and creamy avocado all land on the same plate. The salmon is seasoned simply with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then seared in avocado oil until the skin crackles and the flesh turns perfectly flaky — finished with a shower of fresh chives that makes it feel genuinely restaurant-worthy. Eggs are scrambled low and slow in ghee, which keeps them silky and rich without any dairy that would throw off a grain-free, legume-free approach. Sliced avocado rounds everything out with healthy fat and that buttery texture that makes the whole plate feel indulgent even though every single ingredient is completely clean. A squeeze of lemon over the top ties the flavors together and cuts through the richness in the best possible way. This is the kind of breakfast that actually keeps you full and satisfied for hours, no sad desk snack required.
