This elegant salmon eggs Eggs Benedict is ready in just 30 minutes and features a rich, velvety hollandaise sauce. It is topped with delicate smoked salmon and salty salmon roe (caviar) for a restaurant-quality brunch at home. This luxurious dish is perfect for special occasions or a cozy weekend indulgence.
To make the quick hollandaise, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper in a blender, then blend on high speed for 5 seconds until smooth.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter in a thin stream until the sauce emulsifies and becomes thick and warm.
Fill a medium saucepan with about 3 inches of water, bring it to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, and stir in the white vinegar.
Crack one egg into a small ramekin, gently swirl the simmering water with a spoon to create a mild whirlpool, and slide the egg into the center.
Poach the egg for 3 to 4 minutes until the egg white is completely set but the yolk remains soft, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Repeat the poaching process with the remaining three eggs, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a very gentle simmer.
Place the toasted English muffin halves on plates, drape each half with equal portions of smoked salmon, and top with a warm poached egg.
Generously spoon the warm hollandaise sauce over each poached egg, then garnish with a spoonful of salmon roe and a sprinkle of fresh chives before serving immediately.
