Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 25 Minutes

Ingredients:

• Cold Smoked Arctic Char

• Eggs

• English Muffin

• Holandaise Sauce

• Chives

• Salt and Pepper

• Lemon Slices

• Vinegar

• Butter

Preparation: 

Start by preparing a quick hollandaise sauce. In a blender, combine egg yolks, vinegar, lemon juice, and (optionally) a small spoon of Dijon mustard. Blend until smooth, then transfer to a saucepan and whisk gently over low heat while slowly adding melted butter. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Next, bring a pot of water to just below a boil and add a splash of vinegar. Gently lower the eggs into the water and poach for 3–5 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft. While the eggs are poaching, remove the skin from your Cold Smoked Arctic Char fillet and slice it thinly. To assemble, layer the smoked char on a toasted English muffin, top with the poached egg, and spoon over the hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chopped chives or a sprinkle of chilli flakes, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Enjoy!
