Leftover Remix: Frittata with Veggies and Wild Alaskan Seafood
November 17th, 2021An Anytime Meal That Is Endlessly Remixable
Frittatas are a quintessential clear-out-the-fridge meal that are endlessly remixable, depending on what leftover veggies and proteins you have on your refrigerator shelves. Using leftover wild-caught seafood in your frittata elevates this meal with lean, nutritious protein — which many of us will crave after a rich holiday feast. And it’s so easy to make that you barely need a recipe.
Any combo of vegetables and seafood will do in a frittata. Coho salmon, roasted Brussels sprouts, and delicata squash. Snow crab, cherry tomatoes, and sauteed spinach. Pacific cod, roasted potatoes, and green beans. Let your ingredients and taste buds guide you.
A handful of shredded cheese pulls everything together, melting into the eggs to give the frittata a salty, savory base. If you have any herbs like parsley, dill, or chives that are taking up space in your refrigerator, a handful of those add an herbaceous finish to the dish.
Serve the frittata for breakfast, lunch, or dinner; hot, room temperature, or cold; on its own, or with a salad to stretch out the meal.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup cooked vegetables, chopped if desired
- 1 cup cooked seafood, shredded or chopped
- 6 eggs
- ¼ cup shredded cheese, plus more for topping
- Tender green herbs, roughly chopped, optional
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Arrange top rack in oven so that it is 4 to 6 inches away from the broiler element. Preheat broiler.
2. Heat up an oven-safe 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Melt butter, then add vegetables and seafood to the pan. Cook for a minute or two until warmed through.
3. Meanwhile, whisk eggs and stir in cheese and herbs, if using. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
4. Pour egg mixture over vegetables and seafood, tilting pan if necessary to distribute evenly. Allow to cook for about 4 minutes, or until the bottom of the frittata has begun to set.
5. Sprinkle extra cheese on top of frittata, then transfer pan to oven and broil for 3 minutes or so until top is cooked and browned to your liking. Serve hot, and room temperature, or even cold for any meal of the day.
Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of food-borne illness, especially if you have a certain medical condition. The FDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F for cooked fish.
