Salmon Eggs Benedict

salmon eggs benedictThis recipe for salmon eggs benedict is actually a lot easier to make than it sounds.  It is a protein packed and tasty breakfast that everyone will enjoy.

I love seafood any time of day.  Salmon, tilapia, shrimp, scallops, crab, you name it; I’m pretty sure I could eat seafood every day.  This salmon comes from Wild for Salmon.  The salmon is sustainably sourced in Alaska, but the fishermen are from Bloomsburg, PA.  They have different varieties of their salmon burgers like feta-dill or spicy.  For this recipe, I just used plain ones.  Thaw the salmon burgers in the fridge overnight.  When you’re ready, simply cook them on the stove in a little bit of olive oil.

Making poached eggs can be difficult and it takes practice to get them right.  However, if you’re looking for an easy method, try microwaving an egg in a little bit of water.  After two eggs fell apart using the stove top method for poaching them, I found the microwave method from The Spruce.  The eggs poached in the microwave turned out much better than those made on the stove.

The good thing about living with my parents is that my dad is always eager to taste test my mess ups.  That way nothing ever goes to waste.

The recipe for the hollandaise sauce is from The Suburban Soapbox.  Since I was only making two servings of salmon eggs benedict, I halved the recipe for the hollandaise sauce.  The directions are easy to follow and the sauce turned out perfectly.  Hollandaise sauce is such a beautiful yellow color and has a delicious lemony butter taste.  It’s pretty perfect with the salmon.
