Best 7 Salmon Cake Eggs Benedict Recipes

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, picking out and removing any large bones and pieces of skin. 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 3 minutes longer. 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.

SMOKED SALMON BENEDICT

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer.
• For the herby hollandaise: Add the egg yolks and lemon zest and juice to a blender and blend for about 10 seconds. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the melted butter. Season with the salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving vessel and stir in the chives, parsley and dill.
• 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.

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.

EGGS BENEDICT WITH SALMON

Steps:

• To make the sauce: In the top of a double boiler, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, egg yolks, mustard, salt, sugar, pepper and hot sauce. Cook over simmering water while stirring constantly, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
• 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.

SALMON CAKE EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Combine all salmon cake ingredients (salmon through lemon juice) in a medium bowl. Drop about 1/3 cup of salmon mixture into the skillet. Want perfectly round patties? I used the rings of a wide-mouth mason jar as a form in the skillet. Pan-fry at medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side.
• Make the poached eggs. Crack eggs into individual shallow cups, like ramekins. Add a splash of vinegar to the pot of simmering water (this helps keep the egg whites together). Using the handle end of a spatula or spoon, stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool. Carefully slip the eggs in, one at a time. Don't add too many eggs at once, though - I usually cook 3 eggs at a time. Let cook for 6-7 minutes, then remove from the water using a slotted spoon.
• Once the salmon cakes and poached eggs are done, move on to the hollandaise. It's best to make hollandaise just before serving. If needed, gently melt the ghee on the stovetop or by microwaving for a few seconds at a time. Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a blender. Turn the blender on low for about 20 seconds, then slowly start to drizzle in the ghee. If you've ever made homemade mayo, this is very similar. It should take full minutes to drizzle in the ghee - set a timer if you have to! Gradually, the mixture should emulsify and thicken. If it's too thick for your liking, just drizzle in more ghee.
• To assemble the meal, place 2-3 salmon cakes on each plate. Top with 2 poached eggs and a hearty drizzle of hollandaise. Garnish with chopped chives and sliced green onions. Diced red pepper also makes a great garnish and adds a pop of color. Serve with spring greens and fresh avocado if desired.

EGGS BENEDICT FOR TWO - WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat the grill / broiler. Put a large pan of water to boil over a high heat. As soon as the water starts boiling, reduce heat so the water is just simmering.
• Poach the eggs: crack one egg into a cup and gently slip the egg into the water. Place the 3 remaining eggs into the water using the same cup method, making sure to keep the eggs away from each other. Immediately turn the heat down to it's lowest setting & time the eggs for 3 minutes.
• Split the muffins & toast under the grill / or in a toaster.
• Make the Hollandaise: Heat the butter in a small pan or in the microwave, until it is bubbling & totally liquid. Do not let the butter brown.
• Crack the remaining eggs into a blender, put the lid on & leave the spout / hole open. Start the blender & pour the butter through the spout / hole in a steady stream - this will thicken the eggs. Add the lemon juice & season well to your taste with freshly milled blackk pepper & salt.
• Place the split muffins on 2 plates ( 2 half muffins on each plate).
• Top the muffin halves with the smoked salmon.
• Drain the poached eggs & place one on each muffin half.
• Spoon a little hollandaise sauce over each egg & serve immediately.
