PRESENTATION

Oat Pancakes with Salmon are a savory breakfast built on a three-ingredient batter — egg whites, oat flour, and Greek yogurt — then finished with smoked salmon, a Greek yogurt cream, avocado, chia seeds, and lime zest. The recipe comes from Lulù Gargari and nutritionist Laura Crugnola, developed for their vodcast Il piatto bilanciato, and the nutritional thinking behind it is part of the dish itself: oat flour for fiber and steadier blood sugar, smoked salmon for protein and omega-3s without any cooking required.

The batter is genuinely minimal — no leavening, no added fat — and because the salmon goes straight on top, the whole thing is realistic on a weekday morning. The yogurt cream and avocado add richness that holds through the morning without tipping into brunch-as-occasion territory.

Meanwhile, scoop out the avocado flesh 10 and slice it thinly 11. Mix the Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt 12.
