Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until they become pale and frothy.

  2. 2

    Heat the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until it is melted but not bubbling.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously until the sauce is thick and creamy. Stir in the fresh dill and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Fry the Capers

    In a small skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the capers and fry until they become crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cooking the Eggs

  1. 5

    Prepare the Water

    In a large saucepan, bring the water to a gentle simmer. Add a pinch of salt.

  2. 6

    Poach the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into small bowls, then gently slide them into the simmering water one at a time. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Toast the English Muffins

    Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    On each toasted muffin half, layer smoked salmon, followed by a poached egg, and a generous drizzle of dill hollandaise sauce. Top with fried capers.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately, seasoned with additional salt and pepper to taste.
