Before trying that recipe, I was incredibly skeptical about savory oatmeal, but I ended up loving it! When you think about it, steel cut oats aren’t that far off from barley, wheat berries or quinoa and, like these healthy favorites, also picks up other flavors very well. I wanted to be sure to use the vegetables I had on hand and while I broiled a large salmon filet, I got to work on the stove top, cooking the base of the hash.
The end result was fantastic! It was packed with flavor and I gobbled up my bowl in no time at all.

Notes
- Inspired by Trout Oatmeal Hash from Clean Eating magazine
As Ryan and I were eating this at the dinner table, we agreed that it would also be a great dish to serve at a brunch if you wanted to triple the recipe to serve to a large group. People might be a little uneasy about savory oatmeal, but just tell them it’s salmon hash and leave out the fact that there’s oatmeal in it to keep their skepticism at bay. (Or you could always bribe them with homemade doughnut munchkins if they are troopers and try it!)
If you like salmon and vegetables, I think you’ll enjoy this dish! The servings are pretty substantial and packed with healthy fats from the salmon, whole grains and nutrient-rich vegetables. A winner in my book!
