Hi Friends!
Just popping in to share one of my new fav breakfasts with you:
Salmon Breakfast Quesadillas
We’re gonna keep this short and sweet because I feel like I have so much to do to get things organized before I start my next internship rotation on Monday! Luckily I made some good progress yesterday and hopefully today can be just as productive. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
Ok, so let’s talk about these dillas. They’re the perfect way to use up leftover salmon. We try to eat salmon several times a month around her and usually have a piece or two leftover, so I love to make these on the weekend. They’re perfect for after crossfit! Plus, they reheat well so I always try to make an extra one so that hubby can have it for breakfast on Monday.
Like most quesadillas, these are totally customizable! I tend to just use whatever I have in the fridge.
Here’s my latest version:
Salmon Breakfast Quesadillas
This unique breakfast recipe is completely customizable and packed with nutrition. It will have you believing that salmon is the new bacon.
Ingredients
- leftover salmon, flaked
- black beans
- quinoa
- scrambled eggs
- cheese
- whole wheat tortillas
Instructions
- Sprinkle a little cheese on one half of a tortilla.
- Layer other ingredients on the same half of the tortilla.
- Top with another sprinkle of cheese.
- Fold the tortilla in half.
- Place on a griddle or George Foreman grill and heat until cheese is bubbly and the outside of the tortilla is golden brown.
Easy, right? Feel free to add or leave out ingredients based on what you have on hand!
These are salmon breakfast quesadillas are protein packed, super simple to make and are great for a lazy weekend breakfast or a quick grab-and-go breakfast during the week. If you want to kick them up a notch, throw in a little goat cheese as well! YUMMMM.
Let’s chat: Are you a fan of breakfast quesadillas?
Enjoy!

OMG yum. that is all.
Although I am not a ‘fish’ person. I am starting to warm up to the idea of Salmon. But… for breakfast… not sure. BUT your recipe DOES look yummy!! I just might have to suggest this breakfast meal to my husband (who loves seafood).
you could also try them for lunch or dinner!
Ok, never would of thought of that combo! Mmmm. I love quesadillas so why not for breakfast? I get quite bored of my usual bfast foods.
perfect way to change it up!
I love breakfast burritos – guess I never thought about making it into a quesadilla, but this sounds and looks yummy! Love that you threw in the salmon!
Ohhhh… this will be happening tomorrow morning! I have some mustard-roasted salmon that would be amazing with eggs and spinach in a pita. Brilliant!!
that sounds amazing!
These look amazing!
I love salmon but hasn’t thought to try it as a breakfast food…now I’m drooling for breakfast!
i think it’s good any time of day!
I’m a fan of quesadillas morning, noon and night. Yum!
me too! any time is a good time to eat them 🙂
I <3 salmon quesadillas! I've never tried them with beans or quinoa before – what a great idea 🙂
thanks! always trying to sneak in extra protein 🙂
These could be breakfast, lunch, or dinner quesadillas!
exactly my thought as well 🙂
I’m definitely sending this to a client of mine who likes to have salmon in the morning with his…..oats. I think this sounds much better!
thanks so much for sharing!
Wow, this is definitely creative. I LOVE salmon. It’s been entirely too long since I’ve had it!
i’ve been making an effort to eat it more!
Oh yum!!! I just made myself salmon…next time I’ll know to make extras! 🙂
yes!!!! def need extra to make these 🙂 enjoy!
These look SO good. Okay, so I’ll admit I am a little skeptical of reheating leftover salmon, but this recipe looks so easy, I think I’m going to have to try it! 🙂
yay!! i hate reheating salmon in the microwave but this one it just heats up while on the george foreman so it works for me!
My dear, I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed by a delicious post of yours. And this one is no different. Yum!! I’ll DEFINITELY be making this within the month. At least once. 🙂
yay! let me know what you think!
Haven’t had a breakfast quesadilla in ages…that will probably change this morning! Holy yum.
they’re often overlooked…but so good!
Yum! I love salmon and your quesadillas look absolutely tasty!! 🙂 Good luck preparing for your rotation!!
thank you!!
I might have to try this with another fish, as I am NOT a salmon lover. Hubby would love this combo, though!
would be good chicken sausage too!
Breakfast quesadillas are good, but fish for breakfast is not my thing… maybe for brunch, maybe.
haha i think they’d be good any time of day!
These look so good. For whatever, my taste buds like to keep things bland and simple in the morning, but I’m for sure going to give these dillas a go for lunch! 😀
perfect for lunch or dinner too!
Mmmm I’m a ‘dilla girl. Unforchunately, salmon makes my fingers crawl. Ick, I just don’t like it. I’d love to try these, swapping in chicken instead. Must try ’em!
they would def be good with chicken!
these look great. I’m a huge fan of breakfast quesadillas burritos wraps all that good stuff!!
me too!!! so good 🙂
Yum, yum! I’m always looking for ways to sneak in more Omega 3’s .. this is a great idea.. bet Marcus loved it too!
you know he was trying to get a taste!
I’m a HUGE fan of any sort of quesadilla. They are easy and versatile and somehow everything tastes good thrown into a tortilla. 😉 Happy almost Friday!
agreed….quesadillas for the win!
I always forget about the lovely combination that is salmon and eggs. These sound delicious – like all your quesadillas!
thanks girl!
How funny! I had a leftover salmon, and I couldn’t figure out what to do with it. I toyed with the idea of a burrito, but didn’t know what to add with the salmon. This looks great! Do you think it would freeze well?
you’d have to try it. some people don’t like eggs once they’ve been frozen because they get watery!
Hey Lindsay – I guess I’m not the first one here that’s totally intrigued by the Quinoa, Smoked Salmon and Black Bean combo….especially with eggs in breakfast form. Kudos on pulling it all together!
The eggs, salmon, and black beans sounds like such a good combination! I definitely have to try this one day. I also love the idea of using the grill rather than the oven.
