Salmon & Grits

A warm, savory breakfast for Mom 💛

Simple, flavorful, and made with intention; because she deserves a plate that feels just as good as it tastes.

What I made:

🐟 Air fried salmon

🍲 Creamy grits

🍳 Soft scrambled eggs

How I made it:

* Season salmon with olive oil, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, and Tabitha Brown Sunshine seasoning

* Air fry at 390°F for 10 minutes

* Cook grits until smooth and creamy (butter + a little salt goes a long way)

* Soft scramble eggs low and slow for that fluffy texture

Taste notes:

The salmon is flaky with a little kick from the Creole seasoning, balanced with the cozy, buttery grits and soft eggs. Every bite just melts together.

How I enjoy mine:

A little bit of salmon, eggs, and grits all on one fork. Quiet morning, no rush… just good food and good energy 💫

4/30 Edited to

... Read moreMaking a comforting breakfast like salmon and grits can truly elevate a special morning, especially for occasions like Mother's Day. I love using air fryer methods for the salmon, as it ensures a flaky texture while keeping the fish moist and flavorful with minimal oil. Seasoning with a blend of Creole and garlic powders adds just the right amount of kick without overwhelming the dish. When it comes to grits, I highly recommend cooking them low and slow, stirring frequently and finishing with butter and a pinch of salt to achieve that luscious creaminess that pairs beautifully with savory salmon. For the eggs, soft scrambling on a low heat to keep them fluffy adds a delicate component that balances the bold flavors on the plate. One tip I’ve found helpful is to combine small bites of salmon, grits, and eggs on a single fork—this way each mouthful melds the different textures and flavors harmoniously, making the breakfast experience even more satisfying. This dish invites a slower pace to the morning, allowing you to savor simple yet intentional flavors, which is perfect for a quiet, energy-filled start to the day. Incorporating these techniques and seasonings will help you create a memorable, nourishing meal that feels just as special as the occasion it celebrates.

Honestly, this late-night (2:10am) snack came out exactly how I needed it to. I made some creamy, buttery grits that turned out super smooth & rich, & then topped them with shrimp that I seasoned really well, plus a few chunks of salmon to make it more filling. Everything is coated in that
