Method

For the Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Bake the Salmon

    Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.

For the Poached Eggs

  1. 3

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Add white vinegar and salt.

  2. 4

    Poach the Eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl. Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water, cooking for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

For the Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until just melted. Remove from heat.

  2. 6

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become pale and thick. Gradually add in melted butter while whisking continuously.

  3. 7

    Season the Sauce

    Add lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper to the mixture, whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water to reach desired consistency.

For Assembly

  1. 8

    Toast the English Muffins

    While the salmon and eggs are cooking, slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 9

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a toasted half of the English muffin on each plate. Top with a piece of baked salmon, then a poached egg, and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley.
