15 minutes
Salmon Benedict is a refined dish embodying the elegance of French cuisine. Its roots trace back to 19th century New York when the traditional Eggs Benedict became a favorite among morning gourmets. This version combines a delicate poached egg, airy hollandaise sauce, and thin slices of lightly salted salmon. A warm, crispy brioche soaked in butter creates the perfect base for rich flavors. Cheddar cheese adds depth while fresh spinach leaves bring lightness and freshness. The final touch is smoked paprika and parmesan, adding zest to the dish. Salmon Benedict is a gastronomic delight perfect for a leisurely breakfast or elegant brunch.
