Best 8 Eggs Benedict With Salmon Recipes

SMOKED SALMON EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• Begin by preparing the Hollandaise sauce. Add the egg yolks and water to a small frying pan. Holding the pan 2 inches above an element on medium-high, whisk the eggs until they are frothy and warm. Add the butter to the pan (do not place the pan on the element!) and whisk until the hollandaise is thick. Whisk in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and set the pan aside.
• Place a medium-sized pot of water on the stove on high heat.
• Lightly toast the English muffins either in a toaster or by frying them in a little butter on their cut sides. Place them on the plates you will use to serve them then spread the cream cheese on top. Divide the smoked salmon between them.
• When the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat so that it gently simmers. Crack the eggs in one at a time and let them cook for 4 minutes. Remove them from the pot using a slotted spoon and place one egg on top of each English muffin.
• Pour the hollandaise sauce over the eggs and top with a few slices of red onion, some capers, and a little black pepper.
• If you're serving this with arugula, toss a few handfuls of baby arugula with a drizzle of olive oil and place the salad beside the eggs benedict.

EGGS BENEDICT WITH SMOKED SALMON & CHIVES

Steps:

• First make the hollandaise sauce. Put the lemon juice and vinegar in a small bowl, add the egg yolks and whisk with a balloon whisk until light and frothy. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk until mixture thickens. Gradually add the butter, whisking constantly until thick - if it looks like it might be splitting, then whisk off the heat for a few mins. Season and keep warm.
• To poach the eggs, bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the vinegar. Lower the heat so that the water is simmering gently. Stir the water so you have a slight whirlpool, then slide in the eggs one by one. Cook each for about 4 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon.
• Lightly toast and butter the muffins, then put a couple of slices of salmon on each half. Top each with an egg, spoon over some hollandaise and garnish with chopped chives.

• In a large stock pot heat 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Carefully break the eggs one at a time into the boiling water. When all the eggs have been added, reduce the heat to medium. When the eggs float to the top, remove them with a slotted spoon and let drain briefly.
• To assemble final dish: Toast bread slices and place on warm plates. Top each piece of toast with a slice of smoked salmon and a hot poached egg. Drizzle with yogurt sauce; garnish with parsley and capers.

• For the bread and asparagus: Toss the asparagus with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on half of the grill pan and cook until charred, about 3 minutes. Brush the bread with the remaining melted butter and place on the other side of the grill pan. Grill the bread until nice grill marks form, about 1 minute per side. Set aside.
• For the eggs: To poach the eggs, begin by adding the vinegar to the large pot of simmering water. Gently crack the eggs into the water and leave them alone for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper lined plate so that any water is soaked up.
• To assemble, place a piece of bread on each of 4 plates and add a few slices of smoked salmon. Top with an egg, followed by some of the herby hollandaise. Serve with the grilled asparagus on the side and garnish with chives.

SALMON CAKES EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• For the salmon cakes: Drain the salmon, place it in a large bowl and flake the flesh with a fork. You should have about 2 cups. Add the onion, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs and mustard. Gently fold until well mixed, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Shape into six 1-inch-thick patties, each about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Heat a thin layer of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Cover and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes longer. Keep hot.
• For the hollandaise sauce: Microwave the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until melted and very hot, at least 30 to 40 seconds. In a blender or in the cup of an immersion blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice and mustard. Blend until the yolks are smooth and whipped.
• With the blender running, slowly pour in the hot butter. Season the sauce with the cayenne and salt to taste. Keep warm until ready to use.
• For assembly: Pour 2 inches of water into a large skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Crack each egg into a small cup or bowl and gently tip it into the simmering water. Cook for 2 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water until the whites are set and the yolks just begin to firm, about 8 minutes. Remove each egg with a slotted spoon and allow to drain in the spoon over a paper towel to remove any excess water.
• Place a hot salmon cake in the center of a plate, then top with a poached egg. Pour a generous tablespoon or two of warm hollandaise sauce over the egg, then sprinkle with the fresh chives and garnish each plate with a lemon wedge. Repeat with the remaining salmon cakes. Serve immediately.
