Add a twist to classic eggs Benedict with baked salmon, sauteed spinach and roasted tomatoes.
Ingredients:
Yield: 2 servings
2 eggs
2 whole wheat English muffins
6 ounces fresh salmon filet
olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
fresh thyme
2 lemons, sliced for roasting and for juice
1 tomato
1/2 red onion
10-ounce bag of spinach
2 egg yolks
4 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place salmon in a baking dish, and drizzle with olive oil, fresh thyme, garlic, cracked pepper and lemon slices. Arrange tomato discs around the fish and coat with remaining garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
2. In a skillet, sauté red onion and garlic until soft. Add spinach, and squeeze half a lemon. Sauté until wilted, and set aside.
3. Poach eggs in boiling water, and set aside.
4. Bring a small pot of water to a simmer on the stove top. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and one tablespoon lemon juice. Place bowl with yolks on top of the simmering water to create a double boiler. Slowly drizzle melted butter into the mixture, whisking until sauce thickens.
