  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
  • 50 grams Smoked salmon
  • 1/4 Avocado
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh dill

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, turmeric powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, making it more effective.

Plating

Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate. Top with the smoked salmon, sliced avocado, and fresh dill. Serve immediately.
