Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC.
- Heat an ovenproof frying pan over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and cook salmon fillet skin side down for 2 minutes to seal. Turn salmon over to lightly brown other side. Remove from pan, place on a plate and set aside in refrigerator to cool. Reserve pan to use later.

- Take cooled salmon from refrigerator, remove skin and break up flesh into small bite-size pieces. Combine capsicum and asparagus with egg mix. Carefully stir in chunks of salmon.
- Heat the pan the salmon was cooked in and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Pour frittata mixture into pan. Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until cooked through.
- Remove from oven and allow frittata to cool slightly before cutting. Serve accompanied with thick yoghurt.
