Ingredients

Scale

For the salmon cakes:

  • 1 cup cooked salmon (flaked)
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)

For the poached eggs:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar (for poaching water)

For the hollandaise sauce:

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and warm)
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • pinch of salt

To serve:

  • 2 English muffins (split and toasted)
  • chopped chives or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salmon cakes: In a medium bowl, mix the salmon, panko, egg, mayonnaise, mustard, red onion, herbs, salt, and pepper. Shape into 4 patties. Cook in olive oil until golden and heated through.
  2. Poach the eggs: Simmer water with vinegar. Crack eggs into water, poach for 3–4 minutes, then drain.
  3. Make the hollandaise: Whisk yolks and lemon juice over simmering water. Slowly whisk in melted butter until thick. Season with salt and cayenne.
  4. Assemble: Place a salmon cake on each toasted muffin half, top with a poached egg, and spoon over hollandaise. Garnish with chives or dill.

Notes

  • Use fresh or canned salmon for the cakes.
  • Hollandaise can be made in a blender for ease—blend yolks and lemon juice, then drizzle in hot butter while blending.
