Ingredients

  • 50ml/2fl oz white wine vinegar
  • 6 peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 sprig tarragon
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 110g/4oz clarified butter
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1kg/2lb 4oz cooked potato
  • 400g/14oz cooked salmon
  • 150g/5½oz smoked salmon
  • 150g/5½oz crème fraiche
  • 2 tbsp chopped dill
  • 75g/2½oz unsalted butter
  • , to taste salt
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 4 free-range eggs

Instructions

  • For the hollandaise sauce, in a pan, heat the vinegar, peppercorns, bay leaf, tarragon and 50ml/2fl oz water and cook until the liquid has reduced in volume to a tablespoon. Strain through a sieve.
  • Put the liquid and the egg yolks in a food processor and blend. With the motor running, gradually add the clarified butter until you have a smooth sauce. Finish with the lemon juice, mustard and cayenne pepper. Set aside and keep warm (cover the mixture to prevent a skin from forming on the surface).
  • For the smoked salmon hash brown, place the potato, salmon, smoked salmon, crème fraîche and dill in a large bowl and mix. Heat a large frying pan until hot and add the butter.
  • To make each hash brown, place a metal ring in the centre of the pan and pack it with the mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown and crisp.
  • For the poached eggs, bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the vinegar. Reduce the heat to a simmer and whisk the water to create a whirlpool. Once settled, crack an egg in. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, remove the poached egg carefully with a slotted spoon and place on a plate to drain. Repeat the process with the remaining eggs.
  • To serve, place the salmon hash in the centre of serving plates and top with the egg and hollandaise sauce. Just before serving break the egg yolks.
